Charming antique salt and pepper shaker set produced during the classic Nippon porcelain era. This matched pair features delicate hand-painted decoration on fine porcelain and carries the blue Nippon Noritake backstamp on the base, indicating production for export from Japan during the early 20th century.
Pieces marked “Nippon” were produced roughly between 1891 and 1921 for the American market, making these shakers over a century old. The elegant decoration and fine porcelain body are characteristic of the high-quality tableware made by Noritake during this period.
Both shakers retain old paper labels that read “From Mom – 28th Birth”, suggesting they were originally given together as a 28th birthday gift by the previous owner\'s mother. Personal touches like these add charm and a glimpse into the personal history of antique household pieces.
Small antique Nippon table accessories like these were commonly sold as dresser or dining table sets and remain collectible today for their craftsmanship and historical export mark.
