#2002 Vintage ceramic quail salt shaker and nest pepper shaker set.

3.5x3” no chips or cracks. Ceramic animal figurines have been popular decorative items for centuries, with styles evolving significantly over time. In the mid-20th century, particularly in the United States, decorative ceramic pieces like this bird in a nest became common household items, often produced by smaller pottery studios or manufacturers. These pieces were appreciated for their charming designs and handcrafted appearance. This particular figurine, resembling a quail or partridge, is likely from the latter half of the 20th century, possibly dating to the 1970s as suggested by one of the listings. Such items were often sold in gift shops and department stores, and many are still collected today for their nostalgic appeal and decorative qualities. The detailed feathering and nest design indicate a level of craftsmanship typical of the era, and its function as a salt and pepper set adds to its collectibility.
