Disney Alice in Wonderland Ceramic Salt and Pepper Shakers

This is a pair of vintage-style ceramic salt and pepper shakers featuring iconic characters from Disney's 1951 animated film 'Alice in Wonderland.' The shakers are constructed in a unique semi-cylindrical or 'D' shape, allowing them to nest together flat-side to flat-side. Each vessel is crafted from glazed ceramic with hand-applied decals and metallic gold-tone gilding along the top and bottom circular rims. One shaker features a light blue background depicting the White Rabbit in his herald attire, accompanied by floral motifs. The second shaker features a dark cobalt blue background depicting Alice herself. Structurally, each shaker stands approximately 2 to 3 inches tall with small dispensing holes on top and larger filling apertures at the base, originally designed for rubber or plastic stoppers. The condition appears to be excellent vintage quality with no visible chips or cracks. The gilding remains largely intact, though some minor age-related rubbing or shelf wear on the unglazed foot rings is expected. These pieces fall into the mid-to-late 20th-century Disneyana collectible category, likely produced by a licensed manufacturer such as Enesco or a similar specialist in ceramic kitchenware during the 1980s or 1990s.
