The Sweethearts & Stumps — Vintage Japanese Porcelain Puppy Coin Bank

Some things are too sweet to be practical — and that's exactly the point. These two little pups have been leaning on each other beside their favourite tree stump for decades, and they're still the most charming thing in any room they inhabit.

• Vintage Japanese porcelain coin bank, marked "Japan" on the underside
• Two chubby white puppies with orange-tipped ears and rosy hand-painted cheeks
• Big expressive eyes, sweet smiling expressions — utterly irresistible
• Seated beside a hand-painted brown ceramic tree stump with coin slot on top
• Colorful hand-painted floral accents (red, blue, green) on base and stump
• Glossy glaze finish with beautiful age-appropriate patina
• Functioning coin bank with rubber stopper on underside
• Approximate size: medium (approx. 4–5" tall)
• Pre-loved treasure in excellent condition
• One of a kind

This is the kind of piece that earns a permanent spot on the shelf — not because it's useful (though it technically is), but because it makes you smile every single time you walk past it. Pair it with dried botanicals, vintage books, and a candle or two. It's cottagecore meets collector's cabinet, and it's completely unbothered about it.
