Rare vintage Noritake Japanese figural salt and pepper shaker set featuring a distinctive Art Deco-inspired design with blue caps, red tie accents, and glossy lustre glaze finish.Marked “Made in Japan,” these appear consistent with early Noritake-era Japanese figural ceramics dating to the 1920s–1930s. I have been unable to locate another identical set currently available or recently sold, making this an exceptionally uncommon design for collectors of antique Japanese lustreware and Noritake figural pieces.The sculptural shape, hand-painted facial details, and elegant color palette strongly reflect the collectible Art Deco aesthetic associated with antique Noritake and Japanese export ceramics of the period.Condition:
Pre-owned antique condition with age-related wear consistent with vintage ceramic pieces. Light crazing, minor glaze wear, small spots of discoloration, and manufacturing irregularities are present due to age and hand-painted production methods. Original corks remain present.
