Vintage 1951 Porcelain Shoe Vase: Hand-Painted Forget-Me-Nots & Gold Trim

$96.66

Step back into 1951 with this stunning porcelain Victorian-style shoe vase, beautifully adorned with hand-applied blue forget-me-nots, soft green leaves, and rich gold trim. Each tiny petal and ribbon was individually formed and painted by hand — a true example of delicate mid-century artistry.

Inside the shoe, there is a small repaired area that appears to have been carefully glued many years ago. It’s smooth, secure, and only visible on close inspection. The repair does not affect the stability or beauty of this elegant piece — it still displays beautifully from every angle.

Perfect as a mini flower vase, trinket holder, or vanity display, this collectible brings timeless charm and a touch of history to any space.
