Betty Boop Shakers Appraisal

Betty Boop High Heel Shoe Salt and Pepper Shaker Set

This is a decorative ceramic salt and pepper shaker set designed in the shape of two miniature high-heel stiletto shoes. The shakers feature a vibrant red glaze with white polka dots, characteristic of retro-inspired design. At the toe of each shoe is a three-dimensional bust of the classic cartoon character Betty Boop, with her signature jet-black hair, large expressive eyes, and red-lipped pout. One shoe features the name 'Betty' inscribed in a red script font on the toe, while the other features 'Boop' in a matching style. The interior of the shoes is glazed in a light pink hue, and dispensing holes are visible at the heel of each shaker. The set is accompanied by a plain brown cardboard collection box featuring the 'Betty Boop' logo with trademark symbols, suggesting this is a contemporary licensed collectible, likely manufactured within the last 20 to 30 years. The glaze appears glossy and intact with no visible chips, cracks, or substantial crazing, indicating the items are in excellent or 'like-new' condition. The craftsmanship is typical of high-quality mass-produced ceramic novelty kitchenware, with well-defined character molding and consistent paint application.
