    Description

    This is a listing for two yellow red-lipped mid century 1954 Miller Studio Inc. chalk ware pieces that are adorable kissing fish.
    Both pieces are impressed with the copyright "1954 Miller Studios, Inc" on the sides.
    The last photo in the series is the best one I could use to show this impression.
    They have hung in my bathroom for years, a
    nd before I even purchased them at an estate sale, they have been in the condition that they are in now.
    Yes, they need a bit of touch up paint or perhaps a magic marker would just help.  The minor paint loss will need
    a bit of yellow, red and perhaps orange.
    I've taken photos so that you may see close-ups of the little parts that need some help if you want them to be perfect.
    I decided for the buyer to take care of these two kissing fish because I will make a huge mistake.  Also a slight bit of chalk has come loose from the
    back edge of one of the fish---this does not show up when you are looking at that one from the front.   No real issue.
    Other than that please use the photo of the magic marker with these charming fish to realize the measurements.
    The fish expand to 6" tall.  So with the minor paint loss and a chip on the back of one fish--they have stood through the decades in great shape.
    They are a fantastic example of mid century kitsch and will brighten up your day when you first see them every morning at the sink perhaps.
    They will be boxed and shipped via USPS priority securely to your home.
    Thanks for looking at all of the interesting items in my store.
