Vintage Owl Salt and Pepper Shakers – Silver-Plated, Switzerland circa 1970
About the Item
Add a touch of whimsy and elegance to your table setting with this charming pair of vintage salt and pepper shakers, crafted in the shape of owls. Likely created in Switzerland around 1970, these finely detailed shakers are reminiscent of the designs by Turnwald for Freddotherm. The silver-plated metal exudes a timeless appeal, while the glass eyes of the owls give them a lively and unique character.
Owls have long been a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and mystery across various cultures. Associated with Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, they are believed to offer protection and insight, making these shakers more than just practical items – they represent a deeper meaning of awareness and keen observation. Their presence on your table adds not only a touch of grace but also an intriguing symbolism that can serve as a conversation piece.
These shakers are not only functional but also serve as a decorative accessory, whether displayed on a dining table or as a delightful accent on a shelf. Their craftsmanship reflects high attention to detail, making them a perfect gift for collectors or those who appreciate vintage and unique tableware. Elevate your dining experience with this exquisite pair, a true conversation starter for any occasion.
