Adorable vintage ceramic mouse and cheese figural shaker set, both marked JAPAN on the bottom.
The set features a sweet brown mouse with oversized red-lined ears, big blue-and-black eyes and molded fur detailing, paired with a bright yellow wedge of Swiss-style cheese. The cheese piece has shaker holes on top, and both pieces have openings on the underside.
The mouse measures approximately 4½ inches tall based on the measurement shown in the photos.
A wonderfully quirky piece of vintage Japanese kitchenware with lots of character. Great for collectors of vintage salt and pepper shakers, mouse and mice collectibles, kitschy kitchen decor, or mid-century Japanese ceramics.
