Elevate your vintage collection with this charming set of rare figural ceramic salt and pepper shakers, made in the recognizable Carlton Ware style (often referred to as 'Cabbage Ware' or 'Salad Ware'). Carlton Ware is renowned for its high-quality novelty pottery, and this set perfectly captures that highly collectible vintage aesthetic.
Design & Style: The shakers feature a textured, pale celery green glaze, resembling seaweed or a rocky bottom. A detailed, embossed red crawfish or lobster wraps around each shaker, making them a perfect addition to any nautical, coastal, or mid-century kitchen decor.
Likely Vintage Era: Based on the novelty design and style, these pieces likely date from the 1930s to the 1950s.
Dispenser Holes: One shaker has a six-hole configuration, and the other has a five-hole configuration, typical for identifying salt vs. pepper.
Base Markings: One shaker retains its original cork stopper and features a small, simple black cross mark on the base. While the full Carlton Ware backstamp is absent, the quality and distinctive lobster-on-textured-green design strongly suggest it is either a genuine unmarked piece, a decorator's sample, or a closely related item from a competitor (like Beswick or Szeiler) following the immensely popular Carlton Ware style.
Dimensions: Standing approximately 2.5 inches tall and 1.25 inches wide.
These pieces are being sold in as-is vintage condition. They display expected signs of age and use
