Vintage Mini Ceramic Salt and Pepper Shakers Kewpie Style Green Aprons 1.5”

Adorable pair of tiny vintage ceramic salt and pepper shakers shaped like round-headed figures wearing lavender tops, green aprons, and plaid skirts. Each shaker stands about 1.5 inches tall and features hand-painted faces with big eyes, making them a charming addition to a miniature shaker or Kewpie-style figurine collection.

Material: Glazed ceramic/porcelain

Design: Round bald heads with multiple shaker holes; lavender shirts, green aprons, and red/blue plaid skirts; black shoes painted at the base

Origin: Unmarked, but style and painting are similar to mid-century Made in Japan novelty shakers.

Small novelty figurine shakers with Kewpie-like faces and plaid apron outfits were widely produced in Japan and imported into the U.S. during the 1950s and 1960s. The hand-painted features, glaze style, and miniature 1.5-inch size on this set are consistent with that mid-century era, so an approximate manufacture date of 1950s–1960s is reasonable.
