Pig Salt & Pepper CSBH

Salt and pepper shakers have been a common kitchen and dining accessory for centuries, evolving in design and material to reflect the styles of different eras. Ceramic shakers, particularly those shaped like animals or novelty figures, gained significant popularity in the mid-20th century as decorative and functional items. These pieces often served not only their practical purpose but also as conversation starters and charming additions to a table setting. 

Pig-shaped shakers, like these, are a classic example of this trend, often produced in various colors and styles. Many were manufactured in countries like Japan, which became a major hub for producing affordable and whimsical ceramic goods for export during the post-war period. These items are collected today for their nostalgic appeal and the cheerful aesthetic they bring to a collection.
