Description
A charming vintage trio of bisque porcelain mice figurines by Homco. Each mouse is depicted with an adorable expression, wearing a festive red or green striped scarf and silver-toned ice skates.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay (best for collectors), Etsy (best for vintage lovers), Mercari (quick sale to casual buyers), or Facebook Marketplace (local holiday markets).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Vintage Christmas,' 'Kitsch,' 'Cottagecore,' and 'Homco Mice.' Highlight that it is a complete set of three. Photograph against a dark background to make the brown and red tones pop. Ship with plenty of bubble wrap as bisque porcelain is very brittle.
