    I found this at a flea market in southern Ontario. It doesn't have a name or anything on it. The tag on the item stated "Time for Tea and Gossip". It's two geisha girls sitting together. Appears to be ceramic (or porcelain? I am not well versed in this area lol).
    It is worn in some areas, overall in really good condition but it really stuck out as a unique item so I couldn't resist in taking it home. :)

      I say!Rather odd. Better to tell that secret in her ear, or better yet, write it down.
      Quite a nice find tho, even if a bit startling at first sight.. I see by writing the seller message on the tag, it becomes a bit more explanatory. Certainly "unique" as you say.

      Agreed! Certainly different. Even the cashier at the flea market mentioned she hadn't seen it before and found it really unique!

      Looks more like a porcelain then ceramic?
      Stunning piece, I have a number of Giesha Girl items, most a little risqué :-)

      Just a neat little link, that explains the meaning of butterflies in Japan
