Here are a couple of very similar houses. They may be by the same maker but one has white paint put over the mark so it is unmarked. Likely covered up intentionally during WWII to erase the name. This is something that occasionally one runs across though it is rare. German china will sometimes have the mark ground off and I own just such a piece. It is part of history and a reaction to what was happening at the time.
The smaller of the two houses has a most interesting "wall" fence that is unique as far as I know. Another thing with this house is that the white on the roof is coconut - though mostly gone it was once there. This is only the 2nd instance of coconut on a regular hacienda style house and is quite rare. However Pastel Haciendas quite regularly had coconut on them.
The second house is a very large house and I particularly like this design. The colors are stunning. The snowman is one I made to replace the original figure. This house is very clean too. the large house is much smoother with only the smallest glass glitter. The small one is rough to the touch. The smaller house dimensions are base, 6 1/2" X 4 1/8" and 5" high. The large house has a 7" X 4 1/4" base and is 5 1/2" high and has an oval mark on the bottom.

This is a good sized Hacienda with some nice architectural features including a firecracker urn holding a piece of Princess Pine. The little porcelain Santa is skiing and is original to this house. The colors are the usual bright fiesta colors and done in watercolor hand painted technique with wet on wet to give a shaded look. This house is UNUSUAL because of the roof being covered in both blue and white coconut. This is the only hacienda I have with that much coconut and only the second one I have with any. Neat variation and in very good condition too. The base is 6 3/8" X 4" and 4 7/8" high.

This is a boxed set of Haciendas in both painted and pastel varietys and though it is not in the picture there are 7 houses in this set. The empty hole has a house identical to the one in the lower right. It was inadvertantly missplaced for the photo. These houses are were made by a maker that had a stamped oval export mark. The surface is quite rough and glittery with a medium glass glitter. The regular styles were painted with the Japanese caligraphy ink brush and done very beautifully the pastels are noteable for their use of coconut and crushed shell. Especially the salmon colored one that has a rainbow colored coconut on the base and white crushed shell on the salmon paint. The very rough condition electric cord is still there but am afraid to attempt to plug it in. Notice the very small size of this early light set. Indeed some of the tiny ornament house COULD have been lit up - if you had a working cord like this one.

This posting is for additional photos to the above. Notice the raffia type fence would make this sometime before 1934 or 33 so the Haciendas started MUCH earlier than we had suspected. Also the pastel types may have been transitional from the coconut houses. Certainly many of the colors would for sure be early thirtys. Such as cheese and lime colors!

Tom, still working on researching that made in japan CS mark.

Tom,

The one with the red roof, the multicolored pinwheel, and the big arched doorway - what kind of door do you think it had?

It could have been a paper door but I would guess that it would be a red cellophane door much as on the other one with this opening. Below is a picture of 3 more typical haciendas of this design with the doors they have (all three have different export back stamps). Notice that there are both red doors and a paper stained glass one. When I would replace a window or one of these doors I have always been careful to note the proper door for it. I haven't really looked what was in this house. It is a bit difficult as you have to pull up part of the roof in order to see in there.

I just noticed in my photo above there is a tiny bit of red cellophane door in the lower right corner.

These are fantastic. I have fallen in love with pastel haciendas.
And for you talented people who make new figures--Santas, snowmen, padres, and children--to replace missing ones, I would certainly appreciate a tutorial. Perhaps on another thread.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful collection, Tom, and others.
