Vintage Ceramic Baby Talcum Powder Shaker. Measures 6 1/4" in height. Good condition. Has a chip on the ear, shown in photo and a little dust has collected near arms.

Bring a touch of mid-century nursery charm to your vanity with this vintage ceramic baby talcum powder shaker. This piece is a classic example of 1950s novelty bathware, featuring a seated "kewpie-style" infant with an expressive face and a plump, rounded form. The shaker is finished in a delicate matte peach glaze that mimics the soft texture of skin, and it includes functional dispensing holes cleverly integrated into the top of the baby's head.

Standing 6 1/4" in height, this figurine doubles as a whimsical piece of shelf decor and a functional vintage vanity accessory. It remains in good condition for its age; however, please note there is a small chip on one ear as visible in the photographs, and a light amount of dust has collected in the crevices around the arms over time. This shaker is a perfect addition for collectors of vintage nursery items, ceramic figurines, or unique mid-century Americana.

This item is vintage, over 60 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
