Condition Details (Please Read & Review Photos):
This vintage set is in good, structurally sound condition with authentic mid-century character and wear. Please review the close-up images carefully:
* **Top Surfaces:** The pepper shaker ("P") features heavy, tight cosmetic crazing across the top white surface. The salt shaker ("S") shows lighter cosmetic crazing across the top surface.
* **Handles & Bodies:** Both handles are fully intact and structurally sound with NO breaks, cracks, or repairs. A prominent crazing line runs smoothly down the top curve of one handle. Fine, light age crazing is present throughout the cream body glaze on both shakers.
* **Manufacturing Variations:** Features a minor, smooth factory glaze skip on the upper green rim trim of one shaker where the cream/tan ceramic body peeks through under the clear gloss (shown in close-up). This is a production anomaly and not post-factory damage.
* **Cosmetic Details:** There are a couple of tiny, pinpoint brown age/iron spots on the cream finish near the green plaid design on one shaker.
* **Bases:** The bottom rims and fill holes are clean and intact with no chips or cracks. Internal plastic or cork stoppers are NOT included.
