vintage salt & pepper shakers, shy squirrels hand painted ceramic S&P set made in Japan

Pair of little red squirrels salt and pepper shakers, unmarked, made in Japan. These probably had a paper label originally.

They are nice and clean, I think these were used as figurines instead of salt and pepper shakers. Neither has a stopper. Both have a little crazing, but no chips or cracks. The standing squirrel is about 2 1/2" tall.
