Vintage Fluted Glass Salt & Pepper Shakers with Silver-Tone Tops
$38.00 USD
A beautiful matching pair of vintage glass salt and pepper shakers, featuring tall, deeply fluted bodies that flare into wonderfully sculptural, scalloped bases. Each shaker is finished with a domed, silver-tone metal top and a delicate finial, lending the pair an elegant presence on the table.
The clear glass produces a lovely, resonant ring when gently tapped, suggesting crystal. The undersides feature radiating starburst detailing, while the metal tops retain the soft, aged patina that makes vintage tableware so appealing.
Both shakers retain their original cork stoppers, a particularly nice detail for a matching vintage pair.
The shakers are unmarked, and their maker and exact date of manufacture remain unknown. Their substantial size and classic design make them a beautiful addition to a collected table, whether used for their original purpose or displayed among antique silver and glassware.
