Description

These ceramic salt and pepper shakers are shaped like stout elephants. They resemble teapots with a metal wire handle. The base color of each is black with hand-painted details on the eyes, ears, and trunk. Each is wearing a painted red hat with white stripes and polka dots on their rear-ends. Paint is flaked away on both in multiple places. Only one shaker has a cork stopper intact. They are unmarked.
