Playful yet refined, this charming pair of vintage Japanese salt and pepper shakers brings a pop of sculptural color to any curated space. Crafted in the mid-20th century, each glossy vermillion red pup is hand-painted with expressive detail — from the inky black collars to the bright, inquisitive eyes that give them undeniable character.
Made in Japan, these ceramic figures exemplify the artistry and craftsmanship that defined postwar export ceramics — whimsical design elevated through hand-finishing and glazing. Their saturated red hue and minimalist silhouette feel both nostalgic and unexpectedly modern, making them a versatile accent for contemporary and vintage interiors alike.
Perfect as a collector’s piece or a thoughtful styling element on a dining table, bar, or open shelf, they add a note of sophisticated whimsy wherever they sit.
Origin: Japan, circa 1950s
Material: Glazed ceramic
Color: Gloss vermillion red with black and chartreuse accents
A delightful fusion of mid-century charm and collectible artistry — proof that even the smallest objects can make a striking design statement.
