Hand Painted Floral Porcelain Salt & Pepper Shaker Set

2.5 inches high X 2.25 wide These salt and pepper shakers are examples of hand-painted porcelain tableware, popular from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. The delicate floral designs, often featuring violets or other common garden flowers, were a hallmark of this style. These shakers were not only functional but also served as decorative items, adding a touch of elegance to the dining table. Many of these pieces were produced in Japan for export markets, particularly to North America and Europe. The use of gold accents on the shaker tops and the detailed floral painting are characteristic of Japanese craftsmanship during this period. While not necessarily high-value antiques, they are collected for their aesthetic appeal and nostalgic charm.
