Chinese Export Lustre Fish Shaped Cruet Set

This is a fun salt and pepper set in the shape of a pair of fish. The fish are decorated in pale orange, with a mauve-blue base. Details on the gills and fins are picked out in gold. The pepper pot has two holes and the salt pot one hole on the top of the ‘head’. The glaze has a shiny ‘lustre’ appearance. The underlying ceramic body is white and most probably porcelain. I think this dates to the mid twentieth century, judging by the original plastic bungs in the bases. The base of each is marked with the word ‘CHINA’ in red. The fish are approximately 10.0cm in height. They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
