Chinese figurine ceramic beads

One-of-a-kind string of 95 ceramic beads purchased in Singapore antique shop ~15 years ago. Although these are not antique. Super cute figurines are as follows (see photos): 4 tigers 2 waving cats (Japanese maneki-neko) 1 hello kitty 2 dogs (see pic - blue ears, yellow nose) 4 oxes (or cows maybe?) 4 dog bones 2 monkeys 2 high heeled shoes 2 Chinese vases 1 heart with moon and stars + assortment of colorful round, oval, square, cylinders - some painted with design, others in solid color. All beads are in great shape. No chips or broken beads. I lived in Singapore for several years and never came across anything like this again. A bead collector will appreciate the uniqueness of these figurine beads, there is nothing like this for sale in the US.
