Description

Three pixie elf figurines dressed head-to-toe in leafy green cabbage costumes with pointed hats and rosy red hair bring pure storybook magic to this lot. One elf sits playfully, one stands tall, and a third reclines lazily alongside a matching green cabbage leaf bowl, making this a likely four-piece set. Condition appears very good with vivid hand-painted detail and no visible major chips or cracks from the images provided. These whimsical pixies have the look of classic mid-century Japanese porcelain novelty ware popular in the 1950s and 1960s.

Two small blue ceramic bird figurines with a matte speckled glaze sit side by side like the best of friends. Their rounded, chunky forms suggest a Scandinavian or studio pottery influence, and their bottoms show a hole consistent with salt and pepper shaker construction. Both appear to be in good condition with no visible damage.

Two small gray ceramic seal figurines in a playful pose round out the animal figurine group. One seal appears to be balancing or resting its flippers while the other looks up attentively. Their undersides reveal the telltale holes of salt and pepper shakers, and they appear unbranded but well-crafted in a mid-century novelty style.

A cheerful red apple ceramic figurine with a small gray mouse perched on top and a circular hole in the front creates an adorable novelty scene. The bottom reads what appears to be Japan, consistent with mid-century imported ceramic novelties. The bright red and yellow coloring is vivid and the piece is in apparent good condition.

A gray ceramic bowler hat salt or pepper shaker sits atop a matching gray oval saucer base. The matte gray glaze gives it a sophisticated understatement compared to its whimsical companions. The bottom shows a center hole consistent with shaker use, and the piece appears unmarked but solidly made.

A yellow rectangular ceramic piece styled to resemble a brick wall or block of cheese completes the lot. Its bold yellow glaze and molded grid texture give it a fun novelty quality, and holes on the underside confirm its function as a shaker. It pairs thematically with the bowler hat shaker and may be part of the same novelty set.
