Lot 107:
Description
A collection of mid-20th-century ceramic figurines and novelty salt and pepper shakers. The group features various anthropomorphic animals including a pair of yellow owls with red-rimmed eyes, two crawling pandas, and several squirrels in various poses. Also included are two raccoons, one adorned with a pink flower and the other holding a heart-decorated envelope. The collection is complemented by nature-themed pieces including a pinecone, a tree stump, and a larger figural piece depicting two climbing animals on a tree trunk. A set of miniature figures is housed within a clear plastic display dome. These items are constructed of molded ceramic with high-gloss glazed finishes and hand-painted accents, characteristic of Japanese export novelties from the mid-century era.
Condition report:
