These postmodern shakers are the cherry on top of your 1980s, 1990s inspired kitchen. The shakers are kind of an oval shape with concentric tear drop shape designs on the sides, all soft lines here, no hard angles. The color of the shakers is an off-white or cream color, and the shaker that the previous owner seems to have used for pepper does look to have darkened over the years. You can see in the pictures the shaker with fewer holes has some discoloration on it and it looks slightly darker than the other shaker.

Typically, in the US, the shaker with fewer holes is for salt, but the previous owner of these must have really loved salt because they put salt in the shaker with more holes and pepper in the shaker with fewer holes. You can tell by the discoloration of the plastic plug on the bottom. In addition, the shaker with fewer holes has a peppery smell. I did wash both shakers, but I\'d advise washing them again prior to use just to be sure any remnant spices come out.

The shakers do have some signs of wear, including the below:

Shaker with three holes: 3/8\" chip (kind of deep) on bottom, slight discoloration (you can see it across the top of the shaker next to the hole furthest from the handle)
Shaker with five holes: 1/8\" chip on one side, tiny chip on handle, tiny chip on other side

You can also see some manufacturing defects in the paint, like little bumps or pockmarks. I have done my best to capture all the imperfections in my photos, so please examine them carefully. Despite their wear and tear, these shakers are absolutely stunning and are sure to catch everyone\'s eye.
The shakers measure about 4\" long (including handles), 4\" tall, and 2\" wide at the widest point.
