This vintage set of salt and pepper shakers is crafted from genuine mother-of-pearl, showcasing the natural iridescence and soft glow characteristic of nacre. Each shaker features an organic, tapered silhouette with subtle variations in tone and sheen, emphasizing the natural shell material rather than uniform symmetry.
Both pieces are fitted with metal screw-top lids with perforations and small hanging loops, consistent with mid-20th-century export decorative objects. Original “Made in India” labels remain affixed to the bases, confirming production origin.
Details:
• Style: Organic natural, mid-century decorative tableware
• Era: Mid-20th century
• Material: Mother-of-pearl shell, metal lids
• Dimensions: 2.25” height each
• Condition: Good vintage condition; natural shell striations, minor surface wear, and age-appropriate patina to metal components
