This elegant modernist salt shaker and pepper shaker were handcrafted and signed by Buccellati in Italy. The set features a cluster of three trumpet mushroom. The larger one represents the pepper shaker , while the medium sized one represents the salt shaker- both are replete with perforations at their top, as well as hand hammered dappled surfaces with a wealth of tiny circular impressions. The mushrooms fit into organically striated bases with serrated tops. The smallest mushroom matches the other two in its decorative detailing but represents an aesthetic embellishment with no functional use. The base of the piece is circumscribed with foliate detailing. With its painstaking attention to detail and impeccable construction, this salt shaker and pepper grinder set promises to add more than a touch of elegance to any table setting. It would be a winning addition to any setting regardless of the style of interior, blending perfectly with every kind of interior from traditional to contemporary. The piece is signed "Buccellati Italy Sterling" on the base and is in excellent vintage condition.
