A porcelain turtle is decorated with blue floral and vine motifs over a white ground, bearing an oval gold sticker on the underside marked MADE IN CHINA. A realistically modeled sea turtle, likely composed of cast resin or a similar composite, features painted details and is embossed on the bottom with 1994 T.M. CE, TURTLE B, and MADE IN CHINA.
