The assortment includes a variety of subjects such as several dog breeds including terriers, pugs, and spaniels, domestic cats, a large spotted feline resembling a cheetah or leopard, an owl, a songbird, a rabbit, a pig, and a swan. The pieces are constructed from glazed ceramic and porcelain. While no prominent manufacturer marks are visible, the style is consistent with mid-century ceramic imports from Japan and Europe. There are no patent marks or moving parts. The largest piece, the spotted cat, measures approximately 8.5 inches in length. Smaller miniatures range from approximately 1 to 3 inches in height.
