Vintage Anthropomorphic Japanese Salt and Pepper Shakers

The set includes two bear figurines: one male wearing a top hat and bow tie, and one female with a flower on her head. They are made of glazed ceramic and hand-painted with detailed features. The male bear likely functions as a pepper shaker, while the female is the salt shaker. Such sets are often sought after by collectors of vintage kitchenalia. Similar sets can be found online, often described as "vintage bear salt and pepper shakers" or "ceramic bear shakers." The set's style and markings (if any) could indicate the manufacturer and origin, possibly Japan, a common source for these items during that era.
