Eales 1779 Silver-Plated Cobalt Blue Glass Salt and Pepper Shaker Set

This is a vintage boxed set of four individual salt and pepper shakers produced by Eales 1779. The set features a classic combination of vibrant cobalt blue glass liners encased in silver-plated ornate metal filigree sleeves. Each shaker stands approximately 2.5 to 3 inches tall, showcasing a cylindrical body that tapers slightly toward the top. The silver-plated exterior is intricately designed with a geometric, cage-like pattern consisting of vertical bars and circular motifs at the shoulder, allowing the deep blue glass to remain visible. The shakers are topped with polished silver-toned screw caps featuring small perforations for dispensing contents. The set is presented in its original navy blue hinged presentation box, which is lined with white satin printed with the brand name 'EALES 1779' in blue block lettering. The shakers appear to be in excellent, possibly unused condition, as they remain individually wrapped in their original protective plastic sleeves. While the brand name alludes to a historical date of 1779, this specific style of silver-plated giftware was popularized in the mid-to-late 20th century. The craftsmanship is highly decorative, typical of vintage tabletop accessories intended for formal dining. No significant oxidation or tarnish is visible on the silver components through the packaging, and the display box remains structurally sound with minor shelf wear on the exterior.
