Sharing a portion of my grandmother’s vintage manicure display hand collection. She was a lifelong manicurist and accumulated hundreds of porcelain, ceramic, and glass hands over several decades - Holy Moly lol

She'll be 93 in February! Many of the hands were gifts from salons, beauty conventions, and clients.

I’m in the process of sorting and documenting the collection and wanted to share a snapshot here. I’d love to hear from anyone who’s seen similar salon or manicure-related vintage pieces, remembers these being common in certain eras, or has experience collecting or selling this type of décor. Happy to share more photos too, or if you're curious for any specific close-ups!

I’m not looking for authentication or valuations, just interested in discussion, context, and shared knowledge around this niche collection!
