Representing the highly sought-after novelty anthropomorphic lines created for Western export markets, these shakers exhibit the stylized, simplified anatomical forms popular in interwar decorative arts. The whimsical presentation is enhanced by a delicate sage-green base glaze treated with an iridescent overglaze wash achieved through metallic lusterware firing, a specialized technique that remains a definitive hallmark of early 20th-century Japanese fine porcelain. Technical Specifications Manufacturer: Noritake (Morimura Bros.) Origin: Nagoya, Japan Production Period: Circa 1920s Primary Backstamps: Both bases are stamped with the standard block text mark "JAPAN" in green ink under the glaze. Glaze/Decoration: Pale sage-green high-gloss base glaze, treated with an iridescent multi-toned pearlized lusterware overglaze. Features hand-painted black eyes, pink inner ears, red outer ears, and dark red/brown pom tails, accented with delicate black enamel line detailing on the paws and torso. Components & Dimensions: Rabbit Salt & Pepper Shakers (Matched Pair): Height: 3.0 in | Width (at base): 1.25 in Stoppers: Both shakers are missing their vintage cork stoppers. Condition Report Structural Integrity: Very good antique condition. Inspected thoroughly under close magnification; there are no chips, cracks, hairlines, or professional restorations. The delicate, elongated ears are structurally sound and entirely free of nicks or fleabites. Surface & Glaze Fading: The high-gloss glaze remains smooth and highly reflective. As is typical and expected with this specific early Noritake green luster pigment formulation, there is light, honest mottled color fading and minor variance in glaze density across the backs of both figurines. Paint & Enamel: The hand-painted facial features and black enamel accent lines remain crisp and intact. The cold-painted red and pink detailing on the ears shows minor, uniform surface wear consistent with age and handling.
