    Each giraffe measures 4 1/2 inches long, 4 1/2 inches tall, & 2 inches wide.) As you can see, one is badly broken, and has been broken for years.) (The broken one has 3 small holes between its ears. The other has 2 small holes between its ears.) There is a glued-on sticker on the bottom of both saying, "Made in Japan. Victoria Ceramics". There appears to be a small crown on the stickers. The two shakers are very similar; the 3-holed one's neck is bent down closer to its back than the other one. I believe they are called "Hugables". They were a very precious gift to my daughter from her grandmother. Our daughter would so like to be able to display a set of two in her grandmother's memory. But, as you can see, one got dropped and is now broken. For years I have been hoping I'd run across a replacement for her, but to no avail. I recently discovered your site and am hoping someone out there could give me some leads as to where I might possibly find a replacement for the broken shaker... Any leads or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

      You have to check on the web, on the internet sales sites. If you do find the same ones, then it's likely you will have to buy the set. The chances of finding the right one for sale on it's own is slim to none.

      Efesgirl, Thanks! (Mistakenly deleted earlier post.) Looked under "twisted neck giraffes salt pepper shakers Japan". No real match. Any other sale site ideas? I would gladly buy a matching pair!

      The majority seem to be listed on eBay, but none are exactly like the ones you have here.

      Do an eBay search for "twist neck giraffe salt pepper shakers". You can also try looking on Etsy.
