Vintage Coastal Ceramic Seabird Trinket Boxes Pelican & Seagull Nautical Decor

Charming vintage coastal ceramic trinket boxes featuring a pelican and seagull, each perched atop a rope-style nautical base. These lidded boxes have great mid-century beach cottage character and make perfect accent pieces for coastal, seaside, or nautical décor.

Both pieces are unmarked, which is common for Japanese export ceramics from the 1950s–1970s. They are solidly made with glossy glaze, hand-painted details, and original metal clasp hardware.
