Description
Enhance your collection or home decor with this charming mid-century ceramic choir set, featuring four hand-painted figures that capture the nostalgic elegance of 1950s–70s export pottery. This complete group includes a choir boy in blue, a girl in pink, a robed nun holding a rosary, and a detailed pipe organ prop, all showcasing the distinctive “doll-face” aesthetic, high-gloss finish, and warm gold accents characteristic of West German glaze work from this era. Ideal for vintage religious decor, mantel displays, or retro church gift shop enthusiasts seeking a cohesive shelf-scape.
All pieces are in good vintage condition with structural integrity intact; the glaze is uniformly smooth with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing, and the gold detailing on the hymnals, organ pipes, and trims remains largely vibrant with age-appropriate patina. The set consists of the four figures described above: choir boy, choir girl, nun, and pipe organ. Figures measure approximately 4 inches tall, while the organ stands roughly 4 inches high by 2.5 inches wide. A delightful ensemble that preserves the wholesome craftsmanship of its time without requiring restoration or additional accessories.
