This is a salt and pepper shaker made in New Zealand. The bird motif is the "Pukeko," a flightless bird native to New Zealand. It appears to be handmade, with some irregularities in shape and variations in color. Please check the photos. It may look rough at first glance, but I think that's what makes it a unique piece. It has been stored at home for about 20 years. Please understand that this is not a perfect product like those made in Japan, and consider purchasing it with this in mind. No claims and no returns accepted. Please refrain from price negotiations.
