Description

View Vintage 1950s Japan Anthropomorphic Carrot Peas Salt Pepper Shakers Kitsch MCM with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Height: Approx. Internal Scent: These were historically used for real spices. Due to age and drying, the cork plugs show minor chipping, crumbling, and edge wear from historical removal (clearly shown outside the shakers in the detail photos). Charming authentic Vintage 1950s mid-century modern (MCM) anthropomorphic figural ceramic salt and pepper shaker set. Made in Japan (traditionally manufactured by PY Miyao), this rare novelty kitsch pair features a smiling orange carrot with a green leafy top and a matching green peas-in-a-pod character, both styled with adorable molded bow ties. An incredible addition to a vintage kitchen display shelf, tier tray, or mid-century collection! Sizing Dimensions (Laid Flat): - Height: Approx. 4.25 inches (Carrot) to 4.5 inches (Peas) - See photos with measuring tape for exact scale dimensions. - Material: Hand-Painted Ceramic / Glazed Porcelain 🚨 Condition Notes 🚨 Due to age, historical use, and authentic vintage storage, please note the following specific details: 1. Internal Scent: These were historically used for real spices. The carrot holds a mild vintage musty storage scent, and the peas retain a lingering pepper scent inside the chamber. Sold strictly as a decorative vintage collectible pair rather than for active food use. 2. Bottom Hairline: There is a small, tight, stable hairline fissure/firing line located on the unglazed white bottom rim base of the green pea pod (clearly highlighted in the close-up base photo). This is entirely hidden when the piece is sitting flat on display and does not compromise the structure. 3. Cork Stoppers & Wear: Both original vintage natural cork stoppers are included. Due to age and drying, the cork plugs show minor chipping, crumbling, and edge wear from historical removal (clearly shown outside the shakers in the detail photos). 🤝 SELLER TRANSPARENCY & PRE-OWNED CONDITION POLICY: All items in our store are in pre-owned, gently used condition unless explicitly stated otherwise.
