Vintage 1956 Napco (National Potteries Co.) Lady Head Vase, Model #C2676 / C26760, made in Japan.This glamour girl epitomizes mid-century ceramic design with her classic side-swept blonde ponytail tied in a black ribbon bow, bright red lipstick, and finely painted delicate features. She wears an off-the-shoulder black evening bodice complemented by a wide, ruffled hat rim trimmed in brilliant gold luster. Her hand is raised gracefully toward her neck, showing off painted red fingernails.Most notably, she retains her original 3D applied black spaghetti eyelashes—a fragile feature rarely found intact on these original Japanese imports. The base is clearly incised with C26760 CHAPCO 1956 and still bears the original red-and-gold Napco foil maker\'s mark.A quintessential mid-century display piece for head vase collectors, vintage vanity displays, or restorer candidates!
