Wanted to sell these ceramic figurines on eBay, but can't figure out what they're suppose to be! I know they should be listed as anthropomorphic (human traits given to something not human), but I need to know what they are representing. The feet look like rabbit feet, but the face isn't the face of one. I tried looking up pixies, angels, elves, monkeys, bunnies and rabbits, but can't find these listed anywhere. Give me your best guess. I need to find another set to determine a price. Anthropomorphic items can go for a lot of money on eBay. Not sure why, but they are very popular. Thanks in advance for your guesses!

Surprised you couldn’t find examples. They’re just ornamental kitsch nicknacks produced in Japan in the 1950s-1960s and variously referred to as pixie/elf angels (note the gold-painted haloes). They had ‘Made in Japan’ foil stickers on the bottom, which get peeled off, but no maker mark. I've seen similar made as salt and pepper shakers, but yours are just ornamental.

Ebay, Etsy, and other sellers typically want around $20 (each) for them. Personally, I wouldn’t give them house room!

Thank you! I'll see if I can find them on eBay now. They are very creepy, in my opinion!
