Vintage Ceramic Lighthouse Salt and Pepper Shaker Collection

This is a collection of three distinct pairs of vintage ceramic salt and pepper shakers, all modeled after various lighthouse designs. The set includes a pair of black and white spiraled lighthouses with a solid red base, a pair of highly detailed lighthouses featuring a textured stone-like finish with small attached keeper's cottages at the base, and a pair of white lighthouses with red spiraling stripes and a tan faux-brick foundation. Each shaker stands approximately 4 to 5 inches tall and is constructed from kiln-fired ceramic with a high-gloss glazed finish. The middle set exhibits unique three-dimensional relief details on the cottage roofs and surrounding greenery. Regarding condition, there is visible age-related wear including paint loss and chipping on the black-topped lantern rooms of the middle pair and the red stripes of the rightmost pair. These items likely date from the late 20th century (circa 1970s-1990s) and represent popular nautical-themed kitchen collectibles. While no maker's marks are visible from the front, these are characteristic of novelty functional ceramics produced for the souvenir and gift market. The craftsmanship ranges from simple hand-painted accents to more complex molded textures, offering a diverse array of coastal aesthetic styles.
