DESCRIPTION: From Selb Bavaria, these antique Rosenthal HandPainted Salt & Pepper Shakers announces Spring is in the air! Under a soft sheen of glaze, naturalistic white daisies are carefully placed upon a background of green variants. An abundance of leaves are detailed with whimsy and perfection. The tops are of gilt and the shape of these antique Salt & Pepper shakers are fluted and curved with scalloped base.
These lovely antique Salt & Pepper Shakers were displayed in a Private Collection and the original cork stoppers are no longer attached. As well, there is a surface chip on the base of one shaker (see photo before backstamp photo).
Please see a similar Versailles Salt & Pepper Shaker Set, ‘Pink Roses’ within our shop.
WHY I LIKE IT: As the weather warms and outdoor dining becomes a favorite way to end the day, antique Salt & Pepper Shakers easily blend with your moderne table decor. Their placement a fantastic nod to the past and a time of relaxed conversation and dining.
