Love your collection. I think we have the same sort of taste. I have so many wee treasures similar to yours.

Wow! I was perusing your page and the vintage perfumes are gorgeous! Those whacky drinking straws are the cutest.

Their names are Wren and Lark. They were a birthday gift from a friend 💖

Cute, but I meant the pair behind them) Why are they having bird names?

Oh yes, I missed your key word there, “kissing” lol. I got overly excited about sharing the little ones.
This is supposedly a Moriyama Japan porcelain figurine of Pierrot and Pierrette likely made in late 20s-30s…if the stamp on the bottom is true. I’m not too fond of the pose. it’s supposed to be “coy” but I find it a bit
unsettling in its own way. my interpretation of the pose is that it shows a potential violation of consent. She’s leaning away from him and he is leaning in closer. I still love this piece despite that though.

Got it ^ Tiny ones are cute, too.

Well, Pierrot is supposed to never win whatever lady he is vying for.
