The listing, PRETTY HANDPAINTED ? ~ VINTAGE JAPAN ~ S & P with VIOLET MOTIF has ended.
These Vintage Salt & Pepper shakers are very delicate & Feminine.
What a Lovely addition to your Curio S & P collection or to grace your Special occasion table.
They are trimmed in 24k Gold, with very little wear & even have an S & P initial to remind you which is which. Also the S has 6 holes on top & the P has 3 holes.
They were not as "Heart Healthy" back in the 40's & 50's, as today they would probably be opposite! Lol!
They are adorned with pretty Violet Appliques ( or hand painted, but I believe they are transfers)?? Not sure.
Both bottoms are marked Japan, as shown in photos & both are missing their corks. Any Hardware store of any positive repute will have replacements, or you can whittle down an old Wine cork if you want to use them in a rush ;0) & I have done just that, with other pairs.
They are 3.5" tall & about 2" wide. No cracks or chips or crazing. That's it!
Please view all the photos I've posted for you & ask any questions if need be. This, & all my Auction are offered "as is". Not New.
Shipping, which includes Tracking, is FREE & only to Listia verified addresses.
Thanks for looking & please visit my other Auctions as well.
Due to a long distance move, I am now just getting back to listing Auction's again, Oh my~~what a Headache it was! & now I know why we lived in our old House for 25 years!
Once again, These are not Antiques but since there is no Vintage category, I thought this one was best for these.
There should still be plenty of time for you to get these for Holiday Gifting ~~that is if Rudolph & the Gang cooperate ;0)
