Italian salt and pepper shakers

Italian ceramic manufacturers have long been known for their quality product and ornately decorated designs. Italian salt and pepper shakers are often popular because of this exquisite decoration. They often add a bit of old world charm to a dining room.

Many Italian cities (most notable Deruta and Florence) have been known for centuries as great manufacturers of ceramics. Authentic Italian salt and pepper shakers made in these areas are often more expensive than your typical ceramic shakers. They are often handed down as heirlooms because of their aesthetic beauty and quality craftsmanship.

Italian salt and pepper shakers are traditionally very ornately painted items. Vivid colors and finely detailed patterns are the standard for these items. Many people consider these among the most collected shaker sets in the world.
