Vintage CAGCO Hand Painted Vase With Cherub And Bird Motif 7” Tall

during the early 1950s. United China & Glass Co. Inc., better known as UCAGCO, dating back to 1850. Founded by Abe Mayer and originally called Abe Mayer & Co., the importer did business throughout the Southeast U.S. as well as Central and South America. It wasn't until the 30s that the company took on the official trademark of UCAGO and began expanding overseas. In fact, after the war, the company's agent in Japan, S.A. Stolaroff signed the very first contract allowing imports from Japan. A talented ceramic designer himself, Stolaroff worked alongside many Japanese potteries to lead the company's line of ceramics. In 1956, UCAGCO was sold to Sammons Enterprises and in 1962, Stolaroff, who had become the company's president, retired. (from Japanese Collectibles website) Lattice work on the top of the ceramic vase with gold trim. Very soft colors. The Cherub and the bird adorn the body of the vase. No chips or cracks, a tiny bit of the color is missing on one of the handles but no chips. Would make a beautiful addition to your vintage decor.Cream White Aqua Green Pink Cherub Bird Vase Vintage Porcelain
