Know before you buy
This vintage Enesco piece stands approximately 5.75 inches tall. Its compact size makes it well-suited for standard kitchen countertops or dining tables without taking up excessive space.
This is an original vintage piece manufactured in Japan. It dates to the post-1940 period, consistent with mid-century Enesco collectibles.
The napkin holder is in excellent condition. It has been inspected and shows no cracks, chips, or structural damage.
This holder is designed for standard-sized luncheon or cocktail napkins. Because it is a vintage ceramic piece, it works best with folded paper napkins rather than large, heavy-duty cloth varieties.
To preserve the vintage finish and the painted details, we recommend cleaning it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh abrasive scrubbers or putting it in the dishwasher, as these can damage the ceramic glaze over time.
