Vintage Salt and Pepper Shaker Lot
This collection features three distinct pairs of vintage salt and pepper shakers, showcasing varied Mid-Century Modern design aesthetics. The first pair consists of small, square-profile clear glass shakers topped with red plastic screw-on caps, typical of mid-20th-century diner or picnic ware. The second and most notable pair are 'Atomic' style Pyrex or similar glass shakers. These feature a tapered, bulbous clear glass body accented by a wide gold-tone decorative filigree band around the neck and finished with black plastic bullet-shaped stoppers. The third pair is made of opaque white glass or ceramic with a slightly tapered cylindrical form, featuring a kitsch vegetable motif (resembling corn or squash) and cursive text identifying 'Salt' and 'Pepper' in a harvest gold or brown hue. These shakers sit in cream-colored plastic bases. Collectively, the items show light signs of use consistent with age, including minor tarnish to the gold bands, shelf wear on the bases, and some fading of the printed motifs. There are no large chips or cracks visible in the primary listing image. These pieces likely date from the late 1950s to the 1970s and represent various levels of household quality, from everyday utility to slightly more decorative hostess sets.
