Lefton China hand-painted porcelain angel vase with cherub, bird, and rose.

Lefton China was a brand established in the United States in 1938 by George Zoltan Lefton, specializing in decorative porcelain items. Many of their popular pieces, particularly figurines and vases, were manufactured in Japan during the mid-20th century, often featuring hand-painted details and gilded accents.

This particular item, identified as vase number 742, depicts a cherub or angel playing a lute, a common motif in decorative arts from the Rococo and Neoclassical periods, often adapted for mass production in the 20th century. The inclusion of a bird and a rose further enhances its decorative appeal, typical of the style Lefton China was known for.
