How could you resist those faces? This charming pair of vintage ceramic sad cat salt and pepper shakers features the wonderfully expressive, down-turned faces that make these mid-century novelty shakers so collectible.
Commonly produced in Japan during the mid-century era, the pair features glossy white ceramic with hand-painted cobalt blue accents, bright yellow eyes, tiny painted mouths, and sweetly exaggerated expressions. Each cat has slightly different painted details, giving the pair plenty of vintage character.
Both shakers are in nice vintage condition with age-related wear and imperfections consistent with their age. The original-style cork stopper is still present. Please review all photos closely, as they are part of the description.
Perfect for a vintage kitchen, kitschy collection, cat lover, or displayed on a shelf alongside other mid-century ceramics.
