Yep. I found on My Little Wiki the pictures of the others that were made besides the pony in your picture, but there is no better information about them.

I have never seen these before :whoa:
I like them.
-
I have three pomanders like this!!!
-
They were made and sold for at the very least a UK market. At one point they were quite common over here second-hand. That one is in really bad shape though :/
I seem to remember Cotton Candy, Bubbles and...Bow Tie? Is that the other one? They're all ceramic and in the same pose.
Ah yeah, Wiki has them.
They're a UK thing. Not sure if they made Europe, but they're for real.

It’s interesting seeing how the discoloration on that one has very hard lines. I’m assuming this means that the eyes and symbols are a decal rather than painted?
-
Is that a salt shaker?
-
Awh, these have gone under my radar! That's so cool! They're really cute :heart:

Pomanders are for potpourri :) the holes are for the scent, you don't shake anything out of them. They were quite popular in the 80s (and I'm sure before that as well). I have a really cute cat one that I originally thought was a salt shaker, too. :lovey:

Thank you for the explanation

Iirc they have a little plastic stopper on the bottom, so you can open it, fill it, and then close it up again. I remember finding some at carboot sales in the 90s which had stuff still inside, and were still scented.
I am pretty sure that yes, the symbols etc are decal.

Awww she looks so tired

Aw those are cute overall! Not something I'd go out of my way to find but if I saw one at a thrift store I'd probably be tempted (I doubt they come up much stateside.)
