Fiesta Cobalt Blue Salt and Pepper Shakers
Kitchenware & Collectible Ceramics

Fiesta Cobalt Blue Salt and Pepper Shakers

This pair of spherical salt and pepper shakers is finished in the classic Cobalt Blue glaze, a cornerstone color of the Fiesta line produced by the Homer Laughlin China Company. These pieces exhibit the iconic Art Deco 'H-design' which features a round, bulbous body resting atop a flared, pedestal-style base with distinctive concentric rings molded into the foot. The ceramic body is heavy and durable, finished with a high-gloss lead-free glaze that yields a deep, jewel-toned blue. Each shaker measures approximately 2.75 inches in height. A key distinguishing feature of this design is the number of holes on the top: traditionally, the salt shaker has more holes than the pepper shaker, though both share the same spherical silhouette. The condition appears to be excellent with a high-luster finish and no visible chips, cracks, or heavy crazing common in vintage ceramics. The craftsmanship reflects the mid-to-late 20th-century American industrial pottery style, prioritizing both functional utility and bold, geometric aesthetics. These items are highly collectible examples of 20th-century American dinnerware design.
