Cream Ceramic Hedgehog Salt or Pepper Shaker

2.5 inches high X 2.5 inches wide Novelty salt and pepper shakers became increasingly popular in the mid-20th century, reflecting a broader trend of whimsical and decorative kitchenware. These shakers often took the form of animals, fruits, or other everyday objects, adding a touch of personality to the dining table. Ceramic materials were commonly used due to their durability and ability to be molded into various shapes. Animal-shaped shakers, like this hedgehog, were particularly favored for their charm and collectibility. While not necessarily high-value antiques, these vintage shakers are appreciated for their nostalgic appeal and the craftsmanship involved in their creation. They represent a bygone era of playful design in household items.
