mostly in the city of Seto
, and exported worldwide under various brand names, such as Shafford, Napco or Lefton... Those manufacturers now no longer exist, but their remaining merchandise is still available in small quantities. This item is a good example of such liquidated inventory.

About My Store
My store provides
Japanese Seto-yaki porcelain figurines
. 'Seto-yaki', such as
this Husky figurine
, is a general term for porcelain products made in Seto Japan.
Seto is a city located in the center of Japan and also the center for Japan's ceramics industry.
From Occupied Japan Era to the late '70s, Seto-yaki items under various brand names used to be exported worldwide. However, as the ceramics industry has been declining year by year, many manufacturers have been forced to shut down their factories in the last few decades. Now there are still lots of vintage products and reproductions available from manufacturers/retailers out there. If you want to find treasure pieces in Japan, you're welcome to visit my ebay store at any time.
