Chipmunks Figurine Woodland Scene

Description

Here is a lovely vintage woodland scene featuring two chipmunks eating acorns. At first I thought these were squirrels then I noticed the gray stripes on their sides and immediately realized they were chipmunks. Made of porcelain this vintage figurine was made in Japan and is marked on the base with a shamrock design. The figurine measures 5 1/8” long x 3 ¾” wide and stands 4 ¾” high to the tip of the tail.
The figurine features two chipmunks a larger and a small one on a gray brown base with a twig from an oak tree upon which is two acorns. The glaze is very thick and glossy and done in shades of taupe / gray, rusty brown, gray/ black, gray, green and white.
The figurine is in excellent used, vintage condition, there are no chips, nicks or cracks but there is a bit of crazing on the base.
I always enjoy the antics of chipmunks when I am in a forest setting, I once had a family living in the drain hole in an outdoor stairwell when I lived in the East, they had a few tunnels under the lawn and a little head would pop up from time to time.
You to can get back to nature with your own chipmunk family.
