This charming pair of metal salt and pepper shakers, crafted around 1970 in Italy, features a delightful owl design, embodying the playful yet sophisticated decor trends of the era. Each owl is fully three-dimensional, meticulously detailed to bring the iconic bird to life. The shakers are filled from the base, and seasoning is dispensed through small holes at the top of each owl’s head. Adding to their character, the eyes are made of glass, giving the owls an expressive and realistic appearance.
In the 1970s, whimsical designs in animal and fruit forms became popular, with items such as Manetti and Freddotherm ice buckets capturing the playful spirit of the decade. Owls, in particular, have long been associated with wisdom, mystery, and protection, making these shakers both functional and symbolic. Collectors and enthusiasts of vintage decor will appreciate not only the unique craftsmanship but also the historical and cultural significance of these owl-shaped salt and pepper shakers. Perfect for adding a touch of vintage charm to any dining setting, these shakers are both a conversation piece and a reminder of mid-20th-century Italian design trends.
