• Details: This is a hard to find vintage figurine of baby Jesus in a manger from Brinn's.  It is hand painted porcelain, with a gilded halo and the sweetest face we've seen in a long time, exceptional craftsmanship.  We only have the baby Jesus, can be used on its own, or it will make a great replacement for your nativity set.  It retains the original foil label that reads: "Brinn's PGH, Made in Japan."  Brinn's was an importer of ceramic decor like planters, vases, figurines, and tableware but most famous for their lady head vases (more below).  We were unable to date these but based on their style, we're thinking circa 1960's to 1970's  There is no better symbol of Christmas than the Baby Jesus, we hope this is a welcome addition to your Christmas holiday decor.

Brinn's China and Glassware Co was founded in 1934 (date of first use), by Samuel I. Brinn. It was incorporated 10 years later, on Thursday 20th April 1944 in Pittsburgh, PA.  Samuel, originally from DuBois, PA, had lost his scrap iron business and moved to Pittsburgh to start over as a wholesaler of china and glass. By 1956, they had grown extensively and moved Brinn’s China to a larger building, (that later became part of the Pittsburgh Historic District), they remained in that building until 1965. In 1966 they expanded their inventory and updated their trademark to include ceramic housewares, tableware, pottery, pots, planters, etc.  By 1959, the company was distributing ceramic and brass imports from Japan and England. In 1975, Charles Brinn was President, he personally traveled to China to attend The Canton Fair which increased their imports from China.  They remained a family owned company, we believe they were out of business by the late 1980's,
