Produced in Japan during the 1950s/1960s by Tilso or Artmark, this highly collectible kitchen set features a beautifully detailed ceramic hen (or rooster) base serving as a holder/stand, cradling two removable, egg-shaped shakers in its outspread wings.

• Style: Mid-Century Modern / Retro Farmhouse / Anthropomorphic Kitsch.

All of the salt and pepper sets I have listed belonged to my Mom and were collected over 30 plus years. Many she found at thrift stores and estate sales for herself and alot her children, nieces and nephews in the military brought home to her as gifts. My mom passed in 2008 and the family has decided it is time to let a few go. Her collection included more than 1,000+ sets and she stored them all throughout her home, see last photos of how she displayed some of them.
Thanks for shopping with me.
