This charming and humorous lot includes three miniature outhouse figurines, each crafted in ceramic and featuring a whimsical scene with a figure inside or interacting with the privy. These tiny collectibles capture early 20th-century novelty humor and are hand-painted in soft tones of white, yellow, orange, and green.

Each piece has unique character details: from a startled occupant to textured wood-like siding and shaped bases. Measuring approximately 2 inches tall and 3 inches wide, they make a delightful addition to collections of antique bathroom humor, outhouse memorabilia, Americana novelties, or miniature ceramics.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate quirky vintage figurines or early comic folk art.
