This was at the Crown Lynn Exhibition in Richard Quinn's collection.
It is only bisqued so doesn't display well to show what it is.
What do you think it is?

I couldn't think past an owl with those big eyes....
but it's called a Strange Kiwi and indeed it looks like an alien kiwi .....
now what is it's purpose?

No ideas then?
I would never have guessed either!
They are in fact Salt and Pepper shakers !
1254 - Strange Kiwi Salt - first made at the Titian factory in 1977 [70mm high]
1255 - Strange Kiwi Pepper " " " "
1256 - Strange Kiwi Mustard " [This is shorter at 46mm and has a hollow for the mustard]
There is also a Mustard Spoon for Strange Kiwi which is 95mm long.
Such hard case looking characters.
