Adorable and collectible vintage PY Japan anthropomorphic apple oil and vinegar cruet set from the 1950s. Each apple features a charming hand-painted face — one winking and one smiling — with “Oil” and “Vinegar” stems that double as cork stoppers.
This mid-century ceramic set is marked PY Japan and also carries the Napco Import seal, confirming its origin and collectible value. These pieces are known for their whimsical expressions and vivid glaze — a staple of the classic 1950s kitsch kitchen aesthetic.
