This lovely pair of ceramic penguins appears very high quality, and were designed with beautiful attention to detail. They are in like new condition with no chips, scratches or flaws of any kind! A perfect gift for any penguin lover! I do not know their history but they came from a lot of vintage penguin items, some dated from 80s and 90s. So it is likely that these are from that era as well. They are Emperor penguins with the baby sliding on its belly. Items from smoke free, cat friendly home. Cats do not have access to my inventory.
