This is a salt and pepper shaker set featuring a boy and a girl. They have holes on their heads for shaking out the contents. While practical kitchenware for salt and pepper, they are also popular collector's items. They are believed to have been manufactured in the 1950s. The pair are modeled after children in traditional clothing. The boy wears a green hat and a red jacket, while the girl wears a yellow hat, a red scarf, and a white apron, which is a common design. The boy's hat has holes for pepper, and the girl's has holes for salt. The corks for the holes on the bottom are missing. These dolls are "Occupied Japan" products, manufactured in Japan during the post-World War II occupation. They were made between 1947 (Showa 22) and 1952 (Showa 27) under the Allied occupation. The General Headquarters (GHQ) mandated that the manufacturer's mark be stamped on the bottom of the dolls. They were mainly exported to the United States and Canada and are very old products. They are highly valued vintage items and are sought after by collectors. Although they are less expensive than branded items, their simple charm and historical background make them valuable. The dolls have the "Occupied Japan" stamp on the bottom. I purchased them at an antique exhibition at the Seibu Department Store. There is some slight fading due to age, but there are no noticeable scratches or stains. If you have any questions, please comment before purchasing.
