Description
Vintage ceramic salt and pepper shaker set featuring paired skull forms with gilt details and a hand-painted Niagara Falls scene, produced as a mid-century souvenir piece with a playful novelty aesthetic that bridges folk art and kitsch display appeal. If you wished, the hand painted Niagara Falls scene could be removed with some nail polish remover, leaving the glazed ceramic under it unharmed.
The set includes the original rectangular base and two matching shakers, each fitting securely into the holder. The shakers show minor glaze imperfections, paint loss to the Niagara Falls portion, and age-related wear consistent with vintage ceramic souvenirs, with no major chips or repairs noted; please review all photos for exact condition. The base measures approximately 3.5 inches tall, 3 inches wide, and 2 inches deep.
