One of a pair of sterling silver salt and pepper shakers, ca. 1920s. The item has a molded base with one lip, a fluted body with Greco-Roman designs of garlands and draped material, and a dome-like perforated top, consisting of five rows of three holes, evenly spaced, capped with a ball finial. On the foot is a maker's mark, the words "STERLING" and "WEIGHTED" and the number "80." With some bottom edge abrasions, light surface grime, and some tarnishing, the overall condition is good.
