Circa: 1950s
Country of Origin: Japan
Manufacturer: Ardco
This darling 1950s little boy ceramic angel figurine wears a football helmet and carries a football under one arm. He's going for a touchdown, posed in a running position with his wings raised and his free hand away from his body to the back. Gold shoes peek out from his long white robe decorated with tiny gold flowers, and his wing feathers are tipped in gold as well.
There are only remnants of the original foil label on the underside, but I have a similar boxing boy angel listed with the label intact reading "Fine Quality A Japan" - probably made by Ardco.

The 4 inch high angel was cleaned after the pictures were taken and actually looks a little better than shown - his face and neck are no longer dirty and the facial features are very nicely defined. There's some very mild crazing to the white gown and wings, otherwise excellent vintage condition.
