pottery musical note wall pockets

Hi All,
I'm trying to figure out who made these - about 6" x 2 1/2", one has been repaired.
any information appreciated
thanks for looking

 

thanks INH no, that is the remains of a label

 

The red clay leads me to believe these are Japanese. I can't think of any US companies that had a solid red clay back. They are incredibly cute, though. I can just see them on the wall above my mom's piano.
Don

 

thanks Don I'll see what I can find searching Japan.
any ideas on time frame?

 

My own immediate thought was mid-century (ca. 1950's?)

 

Those are neat cxgirl.
They would make a great wall hanging for those into music.

 

thanks SBSVC, I was thinking the same time period

thanks pearls
