A delightful pair of vintage ceramic salt and pepper shakers, featuring classic hand-painted "cottage ware" designs.

These egg-shaped shakers are quintessential British souvenir pottery, traditionally associated with the Torquay or Devon potteries.

​The Salt Shaker: Features a single hole at the top and the friendly request: "Pass the Salt".

​The Pepper Shaker: Features multiple holes and the traditional proverb: "Waste not, Want not".

​The reverse side of both shakers features a quaint, hand-painted thatched cottage scene and is titled "Lastingham", a picturesque village in the North York Moors.

These would make a lovely addition to a farmhouse kitchen, a collection of motto ware, or a nostalgic gift for someone with a connection to Yorkshire.

​Excellent Vintage Condition: No chips, cracks, or visible repairs.
​Authenticity: Both shakers retain their original wooden cork bungs/stoppers in the base.
​The glaze shows a lovely aged patina typical of authentic vintage earthenware.
