Description

These ceramic teapot shaped salt and pepper shakers each have a short poem and differing floral and household decorations. Each shaker has a silver sticker on the base stating "A Nanco Product Boston, Mass. Made in Japan". Both have plastic stopper intact. Salt- Guests you are welcome, Be at your ease... Get up when you're ready, Go to bed when you please. You don't have to thank us, Or laugh at our jokes. Sit deep and come often, You're one of the folks. Pepper- My House - My house is small, No mansion for a millionaire. But there is room for love and there is room for friends. Thats all I care.
