RARE VINTAGE MID-CENTURY BLACK DONKEY WITH MONEY BAG SHAKERS This highly collectible and fun ceramic set is a fantastic piece of mid-century novelty decor (Kitsch) likely produced in Japan for export in the 1950s or 1960s. The set features a charming, glossy black donkey/mule figure carrying two detachable money sacks that function as shakers. Key Features: Figurine: Glossy black donkey/burro with gold detailing on the collar and saddle, and pink inner ears/nostrils. It has a hole and hook on its back to hold the shakers. Shakers: The two small, black, sack-shaped shakers feature a red bow and a gold currency symbol : one has a Dollar Sign ($) and the other has a Pound Sterling sign (£) (or possibly a Peso/Franc symbol), adding an international element. These hang from the donkey's saddle. Style: Anthropomorphic, Kitsch, Novelty Kitchenware. Origin: Made in Japan (consistent with this style and era). Dimensions: Overall Height: Approximately 5 inches tall Overall Width/Length: Approximately 5 inches wide Condition: very nice vintage condition. The high-gloss glaze is intact, and the gold and red painted details are vibrant. This piece shows very minimal wear for its age. This adorable piece is a must-have for collectors of vintage animal shakers, souvenir ceramics, or retro kitchen decor! I will pack with care and get it to you ASAP Thanks for looking !
Super fast skipping, securely packaged with care my item quick and safe!! It was exactly as pictured and described! I feel like I got a good deal too. Great conjunction throughout as well.

I would absolutely recommend this seller and look forward to dealing with them again. Thank you SO much!!
2nd time I've bought from this seller. I very much recommend them. My item (bone china paperweight) is exactly as described, packaging was great & shipping was nearly immediate. Between the overall quality of the item, the care demonstrated in packaging and shipping and the communication & support I received from the seller before, during and after the sale, I received incredible value. I will buy again from this seller.
Best seller on eBay I’ve encountered yet! Great communication, shipped really quickly, and very well packaged to make sure it wasn’t damaged (very much appreciated). Seller even went above and beyond to find original tag for the item when I asked about it. Highly recommend seller! (So much so that I went back and bought a 2nd item I was in the fence with cause I knew I would get it quickly and in good condition.)
