This set of salt and pepper shakers are a unique addition to any collection. The shakers are designed to look like miniature Japanese Shamisen instruments and are crafted from sterling silver. The Art Deco style and post-1940 age add to the charm of this antique set. The shakers come as a unit and are perfect for collectors of sterling silver or those interested in Japanese culture. The shakers can be displayed as part of a collection or used to add a touch of elegance to any dining experience.  They are sold in the box, have tarnish, and no attempt has been made to clean or polish them (see pics as they are a large part of the description).  Thanks for looking!
