Large Salt and Pepper Collection

Salt and Pepper collection

Our “Pick” this week is just in. A large collection of salt and pepper shakers, many are hand painted early 20th century. They are mainly single salt or peppers so this could be a great opportunity to replace a broken heirloom or make up a set of similar styles. I have seen in this mix shakers made in Bavaria, Japan, Nippon (Early Japan) and Czechoslovakia. The group is mostly hand painted porcelain, there is some luster ware and some nice glass shakers.

Hand Carved African Fertility Idols

Our “Pick” this week is also a little unusual. It is from the same estate as last weeks “Pick” and they did a bit of traveling. This time we have for your consideration a pair of African Fertility Idols. Both figures are hand carved Ebony and stand about 18″ high.  I find it interesting that the female figure is done it the traditional style, clothed only in beads. While the male figure is dressed as a contemporary European with an umbrella. Read into it what ever you want but it does say a lot about how the culture has changed over the years.
