Darling 1950s Vintage Anthropomorphic ESD/Lefton Bluebird Covered Jam / Honey / Condiment Jar 7027 | 50s | Made in Japan

ESD / Lefton had the most adorable vintage bluebird series that are very Disneyesque, adorably painted, round chubby blue bodied chicks with pink rosy faces, big blue eyes, yellow breasts and beaks, and wing and tail feathers! The cover to the dish is the top half of the bird that sits on a round deep bowl shape where the jam / honey or condiment goes. The head of the bird is turned upward, as if she is smiling at you. There is a half circle cut out shape in the back of the lid to allow for a spoon.. So very cute! It is marked with the ESD, Japan, Hand Painted. The colors are bright and vibrant. There is a chip / repair on the tip of the wing, I have circled it in pink. It looks like it got nicked and the someone had it repainted. The repair is well done. It measures about .25 of an inch and is on the dark part of the wing. I actually didn't see it until I was taking the photos and felt it. There are no cracks or crazing. Priced accordingly.

ESD was a company in Canada whose owner, Harry Pearl, traveled to Japan for buying trips with George Lefton. While in Japan, both men purchased a lot of the same items for their companies (and got a discount for puchasing such a large amount at one time); one exclusively in Canada and the other exclusively in the US. This is why both the Lefton and ESD labels are found on some identical pieces.
