The listing, Vintage Salt An Pepper Shakers has ended.
Very old have cork stoppers an red writing on bottom but I can't read it bad eyes will give free shipping if they get to 10000 credits otherwise will split cost
My ashtray is from the late 1930's to early 40's. This particular type of depiction was quite common in that time frame . . .an interesting piece of American social history. Some pieces were produced in the early 50's and shipped into the US from occupied Japan, although most pieces were marked as such. That makes me wonder about the red markings on the bottom . . . I know you said you cannot read them, but typically Japan used red, black, and a deep burgundy to stamp occupied Japan on their pieces. Cork stoppers are a dead give away to age as well . . . in the late 60's plastic stoppers were starting to be big, but cork was typically used for anything prior from the 50's and back. Your set is in beautiful condition . . . your grandmother took great care of them. I am bidding!!!
Thank you so much for the info, I found it very interesting, an now that you've mentioned it the red writing does look like it could be Japan, I hope you get them it's always nice when someone who really appreciates the history of something gets it! Good luck
What are these little duties made out of. I love African americana it comforts me for some reason..I only have one or two figurines and would like to build my collection..feel free to let me know when you lust any...ill give them
I'm not sure what they used back in the 40s 50s or 60 s but it looks like pottery or ceramic, an I have a few to list for some weeks so just keep checking thanks for enjoying my listing
I have a very cute set I'm putting on next week, it's a tea pot, mammy toothpick holder an Moses not sure what he is but he's part of the set also have black mammy pie ( bird) my grandma called it let the steam out of fruit pies so they didn't boil over
It's part of history, can't change that,the best way to not repeat history is to remember it, an if these were made today I would be upset but they are over 50 years old
