Vintage Josef Originals Mouse Village Pair – Bride Figurine w/ Tag & Holiday “Good Cheer” Mouse – Ceramic 1970s

Description

Add whimsical charm to your collection or seasonal display with this delightful pair of vintage Josef Originals “Mouse Village” ceramic figurines. This set features two beloved characters from the iconic Muriel Muessig collection: a “Bride” mouse complete with her original green tag and a festive Holiday mouse holding a mug inscribed “Good Cheer.” Manufactured in Japan &  Korea during the brand’s classic late-1970s to mid-1980s production run, these glazed bisque figures showcase the hand-painted detail and glossy finish that make Josef Originals highly sought after by collectors of vintage homeware.

Included in this lot are both mice as shown. The Bride mouse stands approximately 3¼” tall with her original “Bride” tag intact, wearing a white floral veil. The Holiday mouse is about 3″ tall, posed with a lamppost base and a yellow mug, featuring gold oval “Josef Originals Korea” stickers on the base. Both are in good vintage condition with healthy glaze and strong color. Please note the holiday mouse has slight paint rubs on the back of the head, consistent with age and handling, and lacks an original tag. No chips or cracks are visible.

These figurines make a wonderful addition to any Mouse Village display, Christmas village collection, or whimsical home decor setup. They are ready to be cherished by a new owner who appreciates retro craftsmanship and character. Whether you’re hunting for a specific mold to complete your set or looking for adorable vintage accents for the holidays, these cute mice offer great value and timeless appeal.
