Description
A collection of vintage ceramic novelty salt and pepper shakers featuring book-related motifs. The assortment includes a pair designed as white cookbooks with a raised diamond-quilted texture on the covers, brown hand-painted accents on the corners and spines, and a central oval label inscribed with COOK BOOK in black. Also included is a set consisting of dark green volumes that, when placed together, form a book titled BOOK WORM on yellow bands. This set features a whimsical, hand-painted worm character wearing black-rimmed glasses and a brown hat, appearing to emerge from one side and disappear into the other. All items are finished in a polychrome glossy glaze. No maker’s marks are visible.
