This Salt and Pepper Set is hand painted, was Made in Japan, stands 2 ¾ inches tall, and is just over 2 ¼  inches wide at its base. The "M" encircled by a wreath (or leaves) on the bottom of a salt and pepper shakers is the classic Morimura Brothers (Noritake) trademark. Research indicates that if it says "Made in Japan" on the bottom, it generally dates from 1921 to 1940. Vibrant colors of oranges, yellows, and fall tones decorate this set and will add a touch of artistry to your dining table. Please review all photos closely, as they are considered part of the description.
