A charming vintage Japanese ceramic figurine set coming from Trappistine Tenshien (トラピスチヌ天使園).
The pair depicts two sweet children kneeling with their hands gently clasped in prayer, their eyes closed in a peaceful and innocent expression. Finished in soft pastel blue, creamy white and delicate peach tones, the glossy porcelain-like glaze gives the figures a tender, nostalgic character typical of Japanese Shōwa-era decorative ceramics.
The girl wears a pointed bonnet decorated with subtle blue motifs, while her companion is dressed in a matching blue outfit. The original 「トラピスチヌ 天使園」 label remains attached to the back .
Tenshien is the familiar name associated with the Our Lady of the Angels Trappistine Convent in Hakodate, Hokkaido, founded in 1898 and known as Japan’s first contemplative convent for women. Objects connected with Tenshien often carry gentle Christian imagery centred on prayer, angels and devotion.
A lovely piece of Japanese religious folk memorabilia, combining the sweetness of Shōwa retro ceramic design with the quiet symbolism of prayer, peace and faith. Perfect for collectors of Japanese vintage ceramics, Christian devotional objects, or nostalgic Japanese souvenirs.
