A Carefully Curated Collection of Fine Antiques and Vintage Pieces
Offering a selection of fine antiques and quality vintage pieces
These elegant vintage Japanese 950 sterling salt and pepper shakers are modeled after hand fans and feature delicate etched bamboo motifs. Each fan has 5 holes on the side designed for dispensing salt and pepper, a design that makes it appear that one is waving the fan when seasoning food. The fronts are both signed "光山". The backs are equipped with sliding rectangular hatches enabling access to the salt and pepper compartments.
The salt and pepper shakers are in good condition with no repairs. As vintage items, they show signs of age including trces of tarnish and scratching on the hatches. The fans measure 2.625" by 1.625" at their widest points and the compartments are .5" tall and .25" wide. The backs bear silver fineness marks reading "950" and "STERLING". They have a combined weight of 39.2 grams.
These Japanese silver fan-shaped salt and pepper shakers display beautifully and would be a wonderful addition to a sterling salt and pepper shaker collection or work equally well showcased on their own. A lovely and useful find!
