This vintage set of three Black Americana miniature ceramic figurines features two “cabbage bathers” lounging inside leafy green cabbage bases and a central seated child figurine dressed in bright colors. Likely produced mid-20th century, these small collectibles were originally novelty miniatures or shelf sitters. Each figure is hand-painted with expressive facial details and vibrant colors, making them stand out as nostalgic Americana decor pieces. Collectors of Black Americana, kitschy ceramics, or mid-century novelty figurines will appreciate the charm and historical context of this trio.
