1950s Holt Howard Cozy Kitten Cat Salt and Pepper Shaker Set/Figurines - Japan

Description

Adorable and kitschy mid-century ceramic kittens! Each one is approximately 4.25 inches tall x 3 inches wide.
They each have some spots which seem to be the result of the ceramics process
(under the glaze)
, as well as some crazing that's not very noticeable.
The pink-bow cat's left ear has some paint loss from a scrape/minor chip. Its right ear has a little line, but it seems embedded, probably from manufacture.
One of the male's paws is chipped off, the one on its far left.
Only the pink-bow cat has any "stoppers," a cork one at the back of its head.
Replacements could easily be found if wanting to use as shakers; otherwise
super
cute just as figurines.
Please see all photos for condition.
The glaze is highly reflective, so there are shadows from surrounding items, not discoloration.
