Vintage 1920s–1930s Mini Hand-Painted Dutch Bonnet Girl Porcelain Shaker Figurine – Mint Green Dress & Rust Red Hood

Bring a touch of storybook charm to your shelf with this petite vintage porcelain bonnet girl figurine. Hand-painted in a soft mint green dress, blush pink shawl, and deep rust red hood, she has a gentle, slightly shy expression with rosy cheeks and tiny painted shoes peeking out from under her hem.

Standing just over three inches tall, she’s the perfect little accent for a cottage-core vignette, nursery shelf, sewing nook, or windowsill display. The back of her bonnet shows several tiny holes that appear to be original to manufacture or a former functional use, adding even more character to this already whimsical piece. Display her alone or tuck her into a grouping of books, florals, and other small treasures for a sweet, old-world look.
Figural porcelain “bonnet girl” pieces like this one were popular from the 1910s through the 1930s, often made in Japan, Germany, or Czechoslovakia as affordable decorative imports for American homes. They were sold in dime stores, gift shops, and through mail-order catalogs, frequently as small shelf sitters or novelty pieces that added a bit of charm to dressers, mantels, and nursery shelves. Today, these hand-painted figures are beloved by collectors for their expressive faces, pastel palettes, and the way each one feels slightly different and uniquely painted by hand. Add this little bonnet girl to your collection and let her bring a whisper of early-20th-century storybook nostalgia to your home.
