Vintage Whimsical Figural Ceramic
String Holder Mid-20th-Century
Offered here is thisvintage figural string holder, a popular mid-20th-century kitchen utility item used to hold and dispense a ball of twine.
This piece is crafted from hand-painted ceramic featuring a whimsical, stylized face. The ball of string sits inside the hollow back cavity, and the loose end is threaded through the small opening at the bottom (usually designed to look like a mouth, a pipe, or a neck tie) so a home cook or shopkeeper could easily pull and snip a piece whenever needed.
Similar whimsical designs were popularized by mid-century art pottery makers and novelty companies and are favored by collectors.
The pictures are an integral part of the description so please examine them closely as we try to clearly show the uniqueness and any imperfections.
