This delightful ceramic set features two cheeky hand-painted pigs peeking over a rustic wooden-style fence. Rendered in warm terracotta tones with soft pink accents and deep red mouths, the glossy glaze highlights their playful expressions. Dating from the post-WWII era (1945–1952), this authentic "Made in Occupied Japan" piece showcases charming textured details, from the swirling pig tails to the blades of green grass at the base. It is a whimsical slice of history with a lovely folk-art aesthetic.

  • Authentic Heritage: Stamped with the coveted "Made in Occupied Japan" mark.

  • Complete Set: Includes both pig shakers and their original picket-fence holder.

  • Hand-Painted Detail: Each pig has a unique, cheerful personality and glossy finish.

  • Original Stoppers: Features the classic cork/wood stoppers on the underside.

This nostalgic set brings a sense of joyful farmhouse charm to any table, making you smile every time you reach for the seasoning. It would make a wonderful gift for a collector of vintage ceramics or anyone who loves quirky, historical kitchen decor.
