    Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, I spent Christmas day at my son's, getting snuggles from my 3 1/2 month old grandson. Was a really sweet day!
    I have these shakers and have no idea how to search for them. They look like English character heads but I haven't found anything like them. I'm sure it's all in the search terms, maybe my head is still in holiday mode! Thanks for the help!
    These are ceramic, about 3" tall and marked Japan in green. Little chip in the paint on the one on the right, price tag residue on the one on the left.

    Think that's meant to be an Englishman (cricket cap) and a Scotsman (tam.)

    Soooo, probably English guys with hats (cap and tam qualify). Somehow I really thought there would be something more definitive. But maybe not.

    No, one English man and a Scotsman. Both British.
