Ceramic novelty cup shaped as feet with gold handle and matching floral saucer, 'Bonzo Dog' lusterware series

This novelty cup is part of the 'Bonzo Dog' lusterware series produced in Japan during the 1930s-1940s. These whimsical ceramic pieces were inspired by the popular British cartoon character Bonzo, created by artist George Studdy in 1922, which gained international popularity in the interwar period. Bonzo-themed ceramics became highly collectible for their quirky charm and connection to early pop culture. Collectors of novelty ceramics, Art Deco era pieces, and cartoon memorabilia particularly value these items for their playful design and distinctive lusterware finish with gold accents. The complete set with matching saucer increases both the aesthetic appeal and collectible value of this unique piece.
