Description

This charming pair of blue and white porcelain salt and pepper shakers features a delicate floral and butterfly motif inspired by traditional east asian decorative styles the classic cobalt blue decoration on a white glazed background reflects a design language that originates from chinese porcelain which has influenced ceramics worldwide for centuries

While the style is rooted in chinese blue and white porcelain pieces like these were widely produced during the 20th century both in asia and in europe often as decorative tableware the soft slightly rounded egg shaped form and the hand painted look suggest they are likely mid to late 20th century decorative ceramics possibly made as export ware or in a european factory inspired by asian designs

The motif of butterflies and flowers symbolizes nature harmony and longevity which are common themes in traditional chinese decorative arts

These shakers are both practical and decorative making them a lovely addition to a dining table kitchen display or vintage collection
