Please don't eat the spaghetti poodles. These oh so cute vintage ceramic dog figurines were primarily made in Japan back in the 1950's. These collectible ceramics were all the rage and are called Spaghetti Art Ware because of the "spaghetti-like" texture of the ceramic fur. Poodles were very popular as well as cocker spaniels, other animals, and Holiday figures. Some of the manufacturers of these cute canines include Lefton, Napco, and Enesco.
