Vintage Ceramic Chickens, Lidded Jar & Companion Figurine (Set of Two Pairs)

A delightfully characterful vintage ceramic set featuring two plump yellow chickens, one generously scaled lidded jar and one smaller companion figure. With their expressive faces, warm mustard glaze, and charming red accents, these pieces sit squarely in that sweet spot between folk art and decorative object.

The larger chicken opens to reveal a hidden interior, originally intended as a candy dish or kitchen jar, and now equally suited to storing treasures, tea bags, or simply existing beautifully on a shelf. The smaller chicken is solid, sculptural, and full of personality, designed as a visual companion rather than a container.

Unmarked but unmistakably mid-century in spirit, these pieces were clearly made to bring humor and warmth into the home. Display them together as intended or let each stand on its own, both options work effortlessly.

A joyful, slightly surreal pair with strong decorative presence and timeless charm.
