By the 1920s and 1930s, celluloid figurines became popular export items from Europe and Japan, often marked “Foreign” for customs reasons, especially in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese delicate figures are now considered collectible due to the material’s fragility and historical significance. As celluloid is flammable and prone to degradation, surviving examples like this are increasingly rare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Why Choose This Figurine?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tA lovely representation of early plastic artistry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tDisplays well in vintage or Art Decothemed collections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\t•\tGreat historical example of imported celluloid decorative items from the interwar period\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease review all photos for an accurate representation of the item’s condition before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gifted UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52605214622043,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/4986\/3003\/files\/57_6bebfe79-bd6e-4d67-a774-3ea17b3125d4.jpg?v=1773696126","url":"https:\/\/gifteduk.com\/products\/celluloid-miniature-lady-figurine-1920s-art-deco-style-woman-in-blue-hat-4","provider":"Gifted UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
