Vintage Ceramic Character Jars, Set of 3

Updated August 7, 2026

A collection of three glazed ceramic character jars, likely dating to the mid-20th century. Each jar features a distinct figural head serving as a removable lid, depicting various male caricatures. The tallest jar, portraying a bearded man in a green cap atop a barrel-form base, measures approximately 8 inches in height. The other two jars feature male figures in hats, all rendered in polychrome glazes.
