I love the caravan style elephants with the baskets on the side, but the fellow with the howdah is also cool too. He has a souvenir image on his side showing a lovely boulevard "Lumley Road Skegness." With his lid, he is nearly 5" tall. The only mark on him is "Foreign." The golden boy is a little smaller at not quite 4" tall, marked "Made in Japan" on the bottom of his foot. Neither of these came with a spoon. The third is pale yellow luster and just under 5" tall & wide. The central elephant's head is lid to the mustard jar and the tongue is the spoon. The heads of the smaller elephants come out of little side pots and serve as the salt and pepper. Each of them are also marked "Made in Japan." The bottom of the base is marked with two T's in diamonds, circled by "Hand Painted Made in Japan."
I used to have a large collection of MIJ condiment sets...no one did them better in my opinion!
These are wonderful.
I bet you have some donkeys too!
