The Story
A delightfully cute pair of mid-century mice salt and pepper shakers with wonderfully quirky expressions. Rare finds made in Japan by KIC, these hand-painted characters are the ultimate 1950s retro-kitsch kitchen accessory. Whether sat on display or used as intended, they bring a playful, nostalgic charm to any "roost”!
The Details
Dimensions: 10cm H x 9cm W
Material: Hand-painted Ceramic | Original Stoppers & Labels
Era: Circa 1950s | Stamped "KIC Japan" to reverse.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Complete with original paper labels and stoppers. Features a lovely clean finish with only a minute graze to one ear (as shown in images).
Heritage Note
These shakers were produced by KIC in Japan during the golden age of "anthropomorphic" design. Post-war Japanese ceramics became famous for these charming animal figurines, which were exported globally to satisfy the Western appetite for "Kitsch" kitchenware. Finding a pair with their original stoppers and stamped branding still intact is a rare treat for collectors.
