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.
