Lucy and Ricky’s bedroom figurines can be seen on the shelf above the beds in most of the bedroom scenes. The pair below are a match for one of the pairs of colonial style figurines that are easy to spot in many of the dialog scenes.
In the occupied Japan period such figurines were imported in large numbers and found their way into homes throughout the country. The I Love Lucy set reflects this trend at a time when cheap imports were beginning to impact local industry, with inexpensive imported knick knacks seen on the set, alongside US made decor items ,often local California pottery, usually the heavier items.
Look for similar figurines in the Occupied Japan section on eBay and also in the Collectibles section
Along with the Made in Japan figurines there was also a statue of a little girl wearing a bonnet. The Royal Doulton Babie Figurine was a very popular figurine Issued from 1935-1992 designed by artist Leslie Harradine for UK company Royal Doulton. I have seen a chalkware copy from US maker Coventry Ware, both items shown are on eBay this week – click on the pictures to see the listings.
