It dates to around the late 1950s or early 1960s, and probably was made in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cruet set takes the form of a little Chinese farmer. He has been out in the fields and gathering things for the  market in his two baskets. These he carries by balancing on a pole across his shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe baskets are where you would put your salt and pepper - and have little holes in the top and stoppers in the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn his way home he is greeted on his farm by a little duckling who is seen in the foreground running up to him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery sweet cruet set - it is certainly a rather rare example of a mid-century novelty salt and pepper set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage will be with Royal Mal Tracked postage. This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31617221656640,"sku":"21\/5\/2019","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1960s-salt-and-pepper-set-or-cruet-taking-the-form-of-a-chinese-man-carrying-baskets-on-pole-international-ceramics-949.webp?v=1785995707","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1960s-salt-and-pepper-set-chinese-man-carrying-baskets","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
