A Group of Ten Hand Painted Ceramic Gourd Shaped Miniature Bottles and Two Dishes - A collection of ten miniature ceramic bottles and two small rectangular dishes. The bottles are fashioned in a double-gourd or peanut shape and are constructed from white glazed ceramic with cobalt blue underglaze hand-painted decoration. Each bottle features a unique caricature of a human face expressing different emotions, such as laughter, distress, and contemplation, along with various hand gestures on the lower section of the gourd. The bottles are fitted with small natural cork stoppers. The two accompanying white ceramic dishes are rectangular in form with a shallow recessed well and a raised rim. The undersides of all pieces are flat and unglazed, revealing the white ceramic body. No maker's marks, signatures, or country of origin labels are visible on any of the items.
