Mid-Century Japanese Tomato Salt and Pepper Shakers – Hand-Painted Ceramic Kitchenware Set of 2

Add a splash of vibrant retro charm to your table with this exquisite set of mid-century Japanese ceramic tomato salt and pepper shakers. Expertly hand-painted and richly glazed, these delightful pieces capture the whimsical artistry of postwar Japanese pottery production. Each shaker is crafted in the form of a plump, ripened tomato, with a smooth, high-gloss finish and deep red body accented by a leafy green stem on top. The attention to detail—visible in the natural ridging, curvature, and color depth—reflects the era’s balance between playful design and quality craftsmanship.

Likely produced between the 1950s and 1970s, this pair embodies the cheerful character and collectible charm of vintage kitchenware from Japan. The set remains in excellent condition, showing minimal age wear and retaining its brilliant sheen. Perfect for collectors, mid-century enthusiasts, or those looking to add a nostalgic accent to a farmhouse, cottage, or retro-themed kitchen, these shakers are as functional as they are decorative. Whether used daily or displayed as part of a vintage ceramic collection, they bring a sense of warmth, craftsmanship, and timeless joy to any setting.
