Salt and pepper shakers - Silver plated brass

Elegant pair of cylindrical salt and pepper shakers, made of silver-plated brass with openwork sides that reveal the blue interior. The tops, also silver-plated, are perforated to dispense the salt and pepper. England. First half of the 20th century.
The blue interior appears to be blue Bakelite or another phenolic material, although no material test has been carried out. This type of combination of openwork silver-plated metal and a blue interior is documented in pieces from the 1930s–1940s, especially in British production.
The design, with its repeating geometric shapes and openwork decoration, is characteristic of the Art Deco / interwar modern style. Similar British and Danish models dating to around the 1930s are known.
