Modern Ceramic Garden Gnome Shaker

This item is a novelty shaker fashioned in the likeness of a whimsical garden gnome. Constructed from glazed ceramic, the figure stands approximately 3 to 4 inches tall. The piece is characterized by a prominent, textured dark brown beard that wraps around the lower half, a light pink bulbous nose, and a large, floppy conical phrygian-style hat in a mottled lavender or periwinkle purple hue. The hat features a slightly down-turned tip and visible brushstrokes in the glaze, suggesting a mass-produced item designed to mimic a hand-painted aesthetic. The side reveals a glimpse of a rounded body decorated with green and white patterns, likely representing floral or geometric elements. The overall construction is smooth with a high-gloss finish. Regarding condition, the piece appears to be in good used condition with reflective highlights from the overhead lighting; however, there is a small noticeable white blemish or possible chip on the rear right side of the purple hat. The style is contemporary, likely dating from the 2010s to present, following the popular 'modern farmhouse' or cottagecore decor trends. There are no visible maker's marks or stamps from this angle, though most such pieces typically feature a plastic plug on the base and small dispensing holes at the top of the hat.
