We found these when we were cleaning out my husbands grandmother's house. We had never seen them before and wonder what they are and if they have any value.
My mother worked for a real estate management company and purchased a box from an estate sale for one dollar. The other items in the box were from the late 19th century or early 20th century. These appear to be hand blown, although I am not an expert in this area. There are two gold ones and one green, all in mint condition. Does anyone know what they are and if they have any value?
Original Made in Japan fully detailed Japanese Doll , I don't know to much about it but I inhareted it from my Japanese grandma when she passed away. I know that she used to collect these dolls and the cheapest ones that she purchased were around $500 to $1000 , I couldnt find a year or make on them but I remember this doll when I was young and I am 36 years old now. That is all I know about this doll , it is in excellent condition and was always in a glass case witch is in the pictures.

(KITSUNE) IT WAS GIVEN TO MY FATHER BY THE JAPANESE FAMILY HE STAYED WITH IN APPRECIATION FOR HIS HELP. i'M CURIOUS ABOUT THE DATE, AND THE VALUE AND THEN I WILL LIST IT FOR SALE (IF IT'S WORTH IT). THANKS.
