    I have a S&P book but don't see these listed. Anyone know maker? Old or newer?

    I don't know for sure, but didn't Elvis start wearing costumes like that in the '70s?

    So, I'd guess 1970s or later.

    OMG! Where's the picture of the bottom?

    I think the Elvis jumpsuit is called "Pinwheel", dates to the early 1970's

    IMHO, this looks like a typical tourist item, probably made in Asia/Japan/Taiwan, and the actual maker is probably not important. It will appeal to an Elvis fan, rather then a pottery fan.

    Or a salt and pepper shaker collector. Some people collect shakers from every state, or every major city, or a certain theme, etc. etc.

    There are some on the worthpoint site that say they were made by Encore. I'm guessing China. You can find a lot of college and other souvenir shakers by them.

    Elvis may have left the building, but many people still love him. They could be for someone who collects all things Elvis, or Las Vegas or showgirls.
