Out of my own private collection is this terrific pair of salt and pepper shakers. Made of porcelain, these art deco figurals measure about 4" high and date back to the flapper days of the 1920s or 30s.
The shakers are an off white porcelain and are hand painted with pink and blue flowers and green leaves. The floral decoaration adorns the women's chests as well as the side of one of their heads. They each have a hole on the bottom, though a cork would be needed to actually use them as shakers, and the flowers are a little darker on one of them.
They are unmarked, but I feel sure they are of Japanese origin. They're free of repair and the only damage I could find is a small nick on the end of one of the women's noses. It isn't detracting, in my opinion, though a small bit of touching up could easily repair it if desired. These would be great displayed with other art deco items!
