Pottery Cheese Shaker, Or Muffiner Powdered Sugar Shaker, Handmade, Hand-painted, Signed By Artist, 1980s - 90s, Never Used

Beautiful pottery cheese shaker, or muffiner sugar shaker, handmade, hand-painted, signed by artist. Likely made 1980s -90s, but not certain. Plastic plug on bottom. Wonderful for those who must have parmesan and cheese blends for your meals! Lovely for the breakfast table for powdered sugar or granulated sugar for your cereal! A beautiful addition to any table with pretty designs and scrollwork handle. Measures 7.5" tall, 7" wide. Perfect condition, appears never used. Can't read the signature, and couldn't find who made this, though it looks Japanese to me. Last name looks like Nina?
