This charming little artifact is a Goebel Bunny Salt Shaker, crafted in Germany around 1980. Standing about 4 inches tall, this porcelain bunny sports a delightfully whimsical design with its big, upright ears and playful blue-and-white stripes. The face is painted with a cheerful, slightly mischievous expression, which makes it more than just a kitchen tool—it’s a conversation starter and a dash of retro personality for your table. Despite being over 40 years old, this piece is in near mint condition, showing barely any signs of age, which is rare to find for an item that was likely part of daily life in many homes.
Goebel is well-known for its high-quality porcelain and ceramic collectibles. Founded in the late 19th century, the Goebel company became famous worldwide for its Hummel figurines—those adorable little children in traditional German outfits. But salt and pepper shakers like this bunny were also a big hit, especially during the mid-to-late 20th century. Goebel’s products were prized for their hand-painted details, durability, and a quirky, charming sense of design. Collectors and everyday folks alike have long appreciated these pieces, whether kept on a shelf or actually used at the dinner table. Because so many people now look for unique, nostalgic kitchenware, pieces like this bunny—especially in such great condition—are in demand. If you stumble across one at an estate sale or thrift shop, it’s a little slice of vintage German craftsmanship and character, now edging into true “antique” territory as it nears its mid-life age.
