Featured Hare & Hound Tiny Cups & Saucers

Also from the charity shop Bric-a-brac but prettier than the bear!
These are tiny, the cups are 4.5cm across , quite roughly made and decorated but the hare and hound are lovely, the hound being particularly pleased with himself!.
I want to think Japanese but that’s just a WAG and I really haven’t a clue.
Completely unmarked and Google failed me.
Thanks for looking

 

This has a different scene and no ID but look at the asking price!

I'm chuckling. Seller described as "a golf scene."

Good find, Thankyou
A cow and golf, slightly random subject matters!
Definitely the same cup & saucer and style though.
Ambitious price point

 

Looks like the one on eboo is holding maybe a walking stick......or a cow prod...........@KSW, yours are adorable!!!

 

Guess You say 'Moo' instead of 'Fore' on that course.

 

Thankyou, it’s very cute isn’t it.

 

I usually think of those dinky gold feet as German or Austrian.

 

My father and uncle went rabbit hunting one time and brought back two rabbits. My brother told me they were Bugs Bunny and Peter Cottontail. I always think of this sad time in my life, I was 4 years old, crying my eyes out when I see a scene like this. I believe my Mother had to make me a peanut butter sandwich for supper which I couldn't eat because they were all eating Bugs Bunny and Peter Cottontail.

 

Ah bless you.
We had chickens when I was a very small. The first pair we had were called Gert and Daisy after a 50’s comedy pair.
When their ‘time’ came my mother dispatched them and put them in the freezer. Her big mistake was to label them with their names. I went to get the ice cream out and, well you can imagine the tears!
We also ate my brothers rabbit, but it was a savage thing!

 

@KSW, Makes me think of my oldest brother going out and (legally...I think) shooting a pheasant in season when he was around 14 y/o, having wrung it's neck and brought it in the house to start plucking the feathers, when the bird suddenly opened it's eyes.....scared the Bejeekers out of Bro enough that I don't think he ever shot another pheasant!!!!!

 

That woke it up in a hurry

 

Friend in Ireland once had her large boy cat drag in a dead pheasant. Cat was exceedingly pissed off when the bird was removed to be hung before plucking and roasting.
