AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant pair of cylindrical design salt shaker and pepper shaker, made in silver-plated brass with a pierced structure, showing the blue interior. The upper caps, also silver-plated, feature perforations for the release of salt and pepper. England. First half of the 20th century.
The blue interior seems to correspond to blue bakelite or blue phenolic material, although no material test has been performed. This type of combination of pierced silver-plated metal and blue interior is documented in pieces from the 1930s–1940s, especially in British production.
The design, with repetitive geometric shapes and pierced decoration, is characteristic of the interwar Art Deco / modern taste. There are similar British and Danish models dated around the 1930s.
Material: Silver-plated metal and probable blue bakelite/phenolic material
Technique: Worked and pierced metal, with screw-on caps and silvered finish
Style: Art Deco
Era: circa 1930–1950, probably 1930s–40s
Measurements: 4 cm in diameter each
Height: 13 cm the larger / 6.5 cm the smaller
Weight: 190 g the pair
Condition: Good overall condition, with patina, surface wear and small signs typical of age and use. The silvering shows tone variations and areas of wear.

Shipping: Dispatched by InPost, UPS or Correos, depending on destination country.
