Additional Information: Charming vintage ceramic clown figurine featuring a "Grated Cheese" banner and an adorable mouse companion. This whimsical mid-century kitchen novelty piece appears to have originally functioned as a grated cheese shaker or condiment dispenser, with shaker holes in the hat and a corked base. The hand-painted design and playful expression make it a fun addition to vintage kitchenware, clown collections, or retro decor displays.

The piece is unmarked but has the look and feel of mid-century Japanese export ceramics commonly produced during the 1940s-1960s. Its compact size makes it ideal for shelf display, kitchen decor, or novelty collection use
