Five Sets of Hen & Rooster Salt & Pepper Shakers

Description

A very nice group of chicken figurines and/or salt and pepper shaker sets from various makers.  All are in good condition with no chips or scratches.  NOTE:  Please read the entire description below:
The largest pair is 3.5 inches tall and is labeled "Made in China."
The bisque set with the chicks in front of mamma have labels from Castagna, Made in Italy 1998.  These are figurines, not a salt and pepper set.  The rooster is 3.5 inches tall and the hen is 2.5 inches tall.
The white set is 2.5 inches tall and is unmarked.
Both of the other two sets are marked "Japan."  The older set of these two is definately vintage. Their glazing has a bit of different coloring, but they are the same style with one being smaller.  The cork of the larger one is missing.  They stand 3 and 2.5 inches tall.
Both chickens of the other gold set from Japan are 2.75 inches tall.
