Tiara Glass Ruby Red Sandwich Pattern Salt and Pepper Shakers

This is a vintage pair of salt and pepper shakers crafted in the iconic 'Sandwich' pattern, which features a pressed glass design of scrolls, flowers, and geometric hobnail textures. These shakers are rendered in a deep 'Ruby Red' or 'Royal Ruby' hue, which is a signature color of Indiana Glass through their Tiara Exclusives line. Each shaker stands approximately 4 to 4.5 inches tall with a bulbous mid-section tapering into a faceted, slightly domed glass top. Unlike many shakers that utilize metal lids, this specific set features matching glass screw-on or friction-fit caps, maintaining the monochromatic aesthetic. The base is hexagonal or octagonal with notched edge detailing. This pattern and color were highly popular in the 1970s and 1980s as part of the Mid-Century American Early American Prescut (EAPC) revival. The glass appears to be in excellent condition with high clarity and deep saturation; however, common issues with these pieces include small fleabite chips under the cap threads or along the base edges. The heavy weight and intricate relief work signify the quality of Indiana Glass pressings from this era.
