• Vintage Candle Huggers, Angel Candle Climbers, Angel in Pigtails, RARE, Vintage Collectibles, Brinn's Holiday, Mid Century Christmas Decor, Holiday Decor, Ceramic Angels, Hand Painted, Japan Imports, (Discontinued)
• Made in Japan
• Vintage: circa 1960's (estimated)
• Details:  These little angels are so cute and extremely RARE!!  They are called Candle Huggers, made to decorate your candles in whimsical style.  Both angels look exactly the same, they have blond hair styled in pigtails tied with white ribbons to match their white gowns and wings.  These are ceramic and hand painted in Japan.  They both retain their original foil labels that read: "Brinn's Pittsburgh, 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.  Regardless of their age, they are very cute and perfect for lighthearted decor.  We think they're perfect for Christmas holiday decor too!

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 business 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, with Charles Brinn as 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,
