Vintage Miscellaneous Salt and Pepper Shaker Collection

This lot contains four distinct pairs of vintage salt and pepper shakers, showcasing a variety of materials and aesthetic styles typical of mid-to-late 20th-century kitchenware. The first pair consists of classic clear glass jars with metallic-finished, possibly gold or brass-toned, screw-top lids. The second pair features novelty anthropomorphic 'chef' figures, likely made of ceramic or stoneware; they are characterized by tall white hats, molded facial features including brown moustaches, and earthen-toned bodies. The third set includes miniature ceramic beer steins (stein-formers) decorated with colorful Transferware decals that appear to depict scenic or Bavarian motifs, finished with a cream glaze. The final pair is a sleek, mid-century modern style set made of brushed metal with decorative etched or embossed banding around the base. Overall, the items appear to be in used vintage condition; visible signs of aging include oxidation on the metallic lids, slight fading of the decals on the ceramics, and general surface wear consistent with age. There are no major chips or cracks evident in the primary image, though the low resolution obscures fine manufacturing marks or signatures. These pieces represent a cross-section of domestic collectibles from roughly the 1950s through the 1980s.
