Mid-Century Japanese Brass Quail — Trio of 3 Figurines
A decorative set of three brass quail figurines, crafted in Japan and dating to the mid-20th century. Each bird is solid brass with detailed feather patterning and a gilt finish, showing subtle variations that give them charm and individuality. The undersides are marked “Japan,” identifying their origin.
Japanese brass figures were popular export items in the 1950s–1970s, prized for their quality casting and timeless style. The quail, a symbol of peace and family in Japanese art, makes this grouping especially meaningful. Sets of three are harder to find than single examples, adding to the collectible value.
These versatile pieces serve as decorative accents, small sculptures, or even functional paperweights and bookends. A handsome and timeless addition to any collection of mid-century Japanese décor.
