PY/Miyao Anthropomorphic Strawberry Face Sugar Bowl
I've moved to Instagram @cathygio1
Few things are more exciting to me than finding a piece I have never seen before. This piece looks like the apple sugar bowl, but is a strawberry! He has seeds and a different finial on his lid.
I was lucky enough to acquire this sugar bowl a while back, but the lid was broken in four pieces. Off to the ceramic restorer he went, and now looks as good as new!
I now own the sugar and saw a creamer many years ago; that means there must be a teapot, right? Like a number of other rare PY sets, I theorize that these were produced later, probably near the time PY abruptly ceased operations in 1961, and thus were made on a much smaller scale.
There is a more common strawberry planter and salt and pepper shakers, but they have a different shape than this strawberry set (they also have black seeds), making me think they were produced separately.
