Pair of Post-War CPO Japanese 950 Silver Rickshaw Salt Shakers
About the Item
A fine pair of vintage Japanese silver salt shakers.
In .950 fine silver.
Each in the form of a rickshaw or jinrikisha (人力車, lit. "human-powered vehicle"), a hand-pulled passenger vehicle which is used widely in Japan and other Asian countries. The rickshaws of today frequrently utilize either a bicycle or electricity rather than being pulled by hand.
Marked for the CPO (シ. ピ. オ), which is believed to be an acronym for 'Central Purchasing Office', a department responsible for purchasing various products in occupied Japan (ca. 1947 - 1952) and selling them to members of the Allied Forces without taxation.
Each shaker has a functional rear window which can be opened and closed.
