Skip to product information
Manufacturer/Origin: These molded wax figurines were handcrafted and hand-painted in British Hong Kong during the 1970s. They typically featured a paper or foil sticker on the bottom indicating the manufacturing origin. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Design Features: The candle is sculpted from a light brown/tan paraffin wax, featuring a distinct textured crisscross feather pattern across its head and body. It is characterized by its signature asymmetrical expression—one large open eye painted black and white, paired with a playful winking eye on the right side.[1, 2, 3, 4]
Condition Notes: The unburnt, intact wick at the top adds to its value as a vintage collectible. The slight paint loss or chipping on the white and black eye rings is very typical for these soft-wax decorative pieces due to their age.
