Hand-Painted 'Cabin in the Woods' Ceramic Tableware Set

This is a four-piece ceramic tableware set, likely consisting of a large serving bowl, a coordinating underplate/serving dish, and two individual handled cups, possibly salt and pepper shakers or small mugs. Each piece is hand-painted with a charming 'cabin in the woods' or rural theme, featuring a dominant color palette of earthy greens, yellows, browns, and reds. The primary motif includes renderings of a red barn or cabin, lush green trees and foliage, red berries or apples, and golden pumpkins, indicative of an autumnal or rustic aesthetic. The large serving bowl has a deep, wide basin with a white glazed interior and an exterior painted with grassy textures, trees, and small red accents. It features two integrated handles, colored in a solid deep green, matching the rim of the bowl and the outer edge of its accompanying underplate. The underplate/serving dish echoes the same decorative motifs. The two smaller, handled pieces are cylindrical with rounded tops, also painted with green foliage and a red cabin detail. These smaller items appear to be shakers due to the rounded, perforated tops, suggesting they are salt and pepper shakers designed to look like mini cabins or structures within the 'woods' theme. The item appears to be made of glazed ceramic or earthenware, exhibiting a somewhat robust and slightly imperfect, handcrafted quality in its painting style, indicating it may be folk art or decorative kitchenware. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant wear in the provided images, suggesting good overall condition. The style points to a mid-to-late 20th-century decorative ceramic ware, possibly intended for seasonal or country-style home decor. The tag on one of the smaller items reads '4 pc set' and includes 'cabin in the woods,' confirming the item count and theme.
