History

These small ceramic turtle figurines likely date from the 1980s to early 2000s, representing a popular decorative style of that era.

Such turtle figurines were commonly sold as affordable home accents and collectibles in gift shops and home decor stores. They appeal to collectors of small animal figurines and those who appreciate nautical or coastal-themed decor. These pieces are valued for their charming, decorative quality rather than fine craftsmanship, making them accessible collectibles for casual enthusiasts.
