Vintage John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy Ceramic Salt and Pepper Shakers

This is a pair of vintage ceramic salt and pepper shakers featuring commemorative portraits of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. The shakers are bell-shaped or truncated pyramid-style with a slightly flared base, finished in an off-white or cream glaze. Each shaker features a color transfer-ware or decal portrait centered on one side. The shaker on the left depicts JFK in a suit and tie with 'President John F. Kennedy' inscribed in black cursive beneath. The shaker on the right shows Jackie Kennedy wearing her iconic pearls with 'Mrs. John F. Kennedy' inscribed below. The glaze exhibits fine surface crazing, which is a common indicator of age in mid-century ceramics. There are visible dark speckles or inclusions in the glaze, possibly suggesting a lower-fire earthenware common in souvenir ceramics of the 1960s. No major chips or cracks are visible on the front surfaces, though typical wear on the base and missing original rubber stoppers would be expected for items of this era. These pieces represent classic American political memorabilia from the Camelot era, likely produced as souvenirs around the early 1960s.
