Ceramic Walnut‑Shaped Lidded Dish with Squirrel Handle
This mid‑century ceramic walnut dish brings playful sculptural charm to a vanity or tabletop with its textured form and perched squirrel handle.
The piece blends naturalistic detailing with the warm, approachable character that made figural ceramics especially popular in American homes throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Its walnut‑shaped body opens to reveal a lidded interior sized for candies, nuts, or small keepsakes, while the squirrel figurine doubles as a functional handle that adds a touch of whimsy without feeling overly decorative. Made in China, it offers a nostalgic nod to mid‑century novelty ceramics that were widely collected for their blend of utility and personality.
Dimensions are 7.5" tall and 6.5" wide.
