Two squirrels, a set. These were sold in the 1970s by Maruri, a world-renowned ceramic manufacturer in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, for the American market. I have kept them with care, but I am selling them to organize my collection. They were not sold in Japan, and this is a sample product for a sales company in the United States, making it extremely rare. The pose of the squirrels, with their lifelike, beautiful eyes and proudly showing off a gold nut to you, is irresistibly cute. The gold almond gives a sense of luxury. Their expressions are very lovely, and just placing them on a desk or shelf will soothe your heart. • Pioneers of overseas exports: They manufactured many ceramic dolls for export (Seto Novelty) from the 1950s, and have fans all over the world, especially for their elaborate animal and human figurines. • Points: The glossy ceramic texture and warm retro design are attractive. • Usage scenarios: Recommended for entryway displays, living room interiors, and gifts. ◯Size (cm) Height 10.5, Length 12.5, Depth 8 I am also selling other items #Kevin'sRoom Antique, vintage, brocante, Orne de Feuilles, retro, lucky cat, vintage, antique, Maneki Neko, Japan, kutani, imari, Kutaniyaki, figurines, feng shui, art gallery, modern art, contemporary art, art, museum, art, mid-century, Japan Folk Crafts Museum, handmade, folk crafts, Asian goods, Nordic goods, American toys, American goods, Showa retro, Marimekko, Alessi, Iittala bird, Aalto, Lucie Rie, Lisa Larson, Bernard Leach, Kanjiro Kawai, Bauhaus, Sunkoro, Soetsu Yanagi, Sori Yanagi, Takashi Murakami, Arita ware, Kutani ware, Ko-Imari, Imari, Yachimun, arts&science, Holmstock, Kensington Cat, Noritake, Royal Doulton, J&G Meakin, mid winter, Royal Worcester, Rorstrand, Meissen, Royal Crown Derby, Wedgwood, Royal Copenhagen, Lladro, Murano, Kosta Boda, Scheurich, Villeroy & Boch, Conran Shop, arts and science, Balz, Francfranc, IDEE
