About:

This beautiful vintage salt and pepper shaker set captures the warmth and honesty of studio pottery from the late 20th century. 

With their earthy drip-glaze tops fading into speckled cream stoneware bodies, and with the required cork stoppers to allow full functionality, these reflect the handmade aesthetic that became popular during the mid to late 20th century. While no markings are present the style is reminiscent of West German Pottery.

These incredible pieces are simple, tactile, and functional, and could fit on any dining table or sit comfortably in both rustic and modern environments. 

These truly are a timeless example of everyday pottery elevated by thoughtful glazing and form.
