This cheeky fellow is mid-belly-laugh, and he does not care that a bee just landed on his nose. A wonderful piece of vintage Japanese figural novelty ware, he winks with one eye and opens his mouth wide to form the ashtray bowl.

He wears a glossy black skullcap and a pale blue bow tie, with bushy white brows and deep wrinkles in warm tan lusterware. A bright yellow bee sits on the tip of his nose. Great on a bar cart, a vanity for rings and keys, or in a novelty collection.
