Description:
Charming vintage hand-painted ceramic figurine depicting a stout sea captain in full maritime uniform, complete with white cap, black coat, and pipe. This cheerful little character has the classic mid-20th-century folk-art charm often found in tourist ceramics from coastal towns and nautical gift shops. The hand-painted details, rosy cheeks, and expressive face give it a warm, nostalgic display appeal.
