Vintage Lusterware Salt & Pepper Shaker Set

1.75 inches high X 1 inch wide Lusterware refers to a type of pottery or porcelain that has been decorated with a metallic glaze, giving it an iridescent sheen. This technique was popularized in the Middle East during the medieval period and later adopted by European and Japanese ceramic manufacturers. Lusterware became particularly fashionable during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with many pieces being produced in Japan for export. Japanese lusterware is known for its vibrant colors and intricate designs, often featuring floral motifs or scenes from nature. These pieces were frequently made as affordable decorative items and souvenirs, making them widely accessible to consumers. Today, vintage Japanese lusterware is collected for its nostalgic charm and unique aesthetic qualities.
