Blue Bird Ceramic Salt Shaker

This item is a single ceramic salt shaker fashioned in the shape of a plump blue bird. The bird's upper body, including its head and back, is primarily a vibrant, glossy medium blue, fading slightly to a lighter blue or white on the underside of its wings where they meet the main body. The belly and chest of the bird are rendered in a creamy white ceramic with a glossy finish, creating a clear contrast with the blue. The bird features a small, pointed, light brown or tan beak. On the top of the bird's head, there are two distinct holes, indicating its function as a salt shaker. The ceramic appears to be well-fired and has a smooth, reflective glaze across all surfaces, suggesting good quality craftsmanship. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the provided image. The overall style is whimsical and functional, often associated with mid-20th century novelty kitchenware or decorative items. The item appears to be resting on or partially wrapped in bubble wrap, which is not part of the item itself but provides context for its current handling or storage. The specific size cannot be determined from the image alone, but it appears to be a standard size for a single table shaker, likely a few inches in length. No maker's marks or signatures are visible, which is common for such utilitarian objects.
