Vintage Art Deco Lusterware Salt and Pepper Shakers

This is a pair of vintage ceramic salt and pepper shakers featuring a distinct Art Deco aesthetic, likely manufactured in Japan during the mid-20th century (circa 1930s-1950s). The shakers possess a classical urn-like silhouette with a wide, bulbous body tapering down to a flared pedestal base. The material is a white-glazed ceramic accented with metallic lusterware finishes. The lower pedestal and the domed caps are finished in a vibrant silver-tone metallic glaze, while a thin band of periwinkle blue circles the neck. The central body is decorated with an orange and black geometric trellis or diamond pattern, which is quintessential of the Art Deco period's geometric design language. Construction appears delicate, typical of exported Japanese pottery of the era. Condition-wise, the luster glaze shows minor surface wear and some light oxidation or dulling of the silver finish, which is common for aged metallic glazes. The hand-painted geometric lines show slight variability, indicating manual application. The holes on the caps are arranged in small clusters appropriate for fine-grained table salt and ground pepper. There are no immediate visible cracks or structural repairs, though slight shelf wear is evident on the bottom contact points.
