Face cups and Clowns for Vintage Thingies Thursday

I found these cute face cups in different yard sales/junk stores within several months of eachother 30 years ago. They were vintage then. I've never seen any since! The cute animal clowns I got at a yard sale this summer. The blue teapot in the background is also vintage, I think from the 1930s.

    The face cups are very unique and I would imagine quite valuable today!

    I've never seen face cups like that. I would have bought them too. I have some handmade pottery face mugs, but nothing like yours.
