Beatrix Potter Jemima Puddle-Duck Ceramic Salt Shaker

At 5.5 cm tall and 7 cm wide, this Frederick Warne and Co ceramic salt shaker modelled as Jemima Puddle-Duck, dated 1999, has the compact charm and soft colour detail that make the best Beatrix Potter character ceramics so appealing to collectors, the familiar figure of Jemima in her poke bonnet and shawl rendered with the faithfulness to the original Potter illustrations that distinguishes licensed Beatrix Potter collectibles of quality.

Made by Frederick Warne and Co, the publisher that has held the rights to Beatrix Potter's work since the original publication of The Tale of Peter Rabbit in 1902, this salt shaker is an example of the licensed Beatrix Potter character ceramics produced under the Frederick Warne name. Jemima Puddle-Duck, one of Beatrix Potter's most beloved characters, first appeared in The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck in 1908, and her distinctive appearance, with her poke bonnet and shawl, has made her one of the most widely recognised and collected of all the Beatrix Potter characters. The ceramic salt shaker form, which gives the piece a practical function alongside its decorative and collectible qualities, is modelled with the soft colour detail and character styling of the original Potter illustrations, and the 1999 date gives the piece a specific production context within the long history of Beatrix Potter licensed ceramics. The piece is in very good condition throughout.
