My mother had several unpainted ceramic pieces, including several Christmas and holiday pieces.  This one is of a pair of snowman candle holders.  Each measures 3" tall by 3" across. Mom etched her name on the bottom.  Perfect condition with no cracks or chips.  You can use acrylic paint labeled "multi-surface" designed for items like plastic, metal, ceramics, etc., available at arts and crafts stores.  Regular acrylic paint will not stick.  Please search my user name for additional ceramics and other items for sale, and please e-mail if you have any questions.
