This is an excellent set of nodder salt & pepper shakers / condiment set.
The salt & pepper shakers are are a "courting couple" With arms outstretched & lips puckered, they gently nod towards each other ready to embrace.
The young lady is wearing a pink top with a gilded trim. Her long brown hair is held in place with a gilded blue headband.
Her young man looks splendid in his blue robes and yellow top. His white turban also has gilded trimmings.
Their romantic outing is even more special in their magnificent Dragon Boat. The dragon's head is gilded and has jet black eyes & red tongue. Both sides of the boat are decorated with a raised leaf pattern.
At the stern is the mustard pot with a bright red lid & spoon.
The boat has PATENT T.T embossed on one of the sides and "MADE IN JAPAN" stamped in red on the base.
The man is 8cm tall & has PATENT T.T on the front waist area; 3 shaker holes.
The woman is 7.5cm tall & has PATENT T.T on the rear waist area; 2 shaker holes (see photos)
Both figures have their corks.
The Dragon boat is 16.5cm long & approx. 7.5cm tall at the dragon's head.
Faults:
There is a small chipped section on the man's turban, hard to see but still chipped. The spoon also has been chipped on the edge of the bowl. The only other faults I can find are manufacturing faults: her face has small brown spots under the glaze (was this done to make her look attractive??) and the mustard pot lid has thick areas of paint around the base area.
I have another set of nodders listed & will combine postage ~ see below for prices.
