Salt & Pepper Shakers
Salt & Pepper Shakers |
They can determine the mood of a table setting, from elegant
to whimsical.
The salt shaker was a Victorian device invented after
free-flowing granular salt was developed in the mid-19th-century.
The first glass salt shakers were made in the 1850s with
Pepper Potts coming soon afterwards.
Rather like salt mills, early Salt Shakers had an agitator
mechanism that brought down the lumps, a feature that reappeared in the 1960s
and 70s.
From the 1930s onwards, new methods of producing cheaper
tableware led to the creation of colourful and imaginative shakers.
Many were made inexpensively in Japan and the Far East, they
are easy to find and often marked foreign, you can buy them from around $20-$50.
