Description
This set of vintage, spherical salt and pepper shakers dates from the 1930's. Made by Chase, the chrome plated orbs were designed by Russel Wright. Chase Metal Works, founded in 1876, was a major supplier to the United States during WWI. After the war, the company retooled and made Art Deco products for the home.
This picture of the smaller pepper shaker reflected in the side or the larger salt container always makes me smile. I imagine a kid talking to a parent and saying something like, "I wanna be just like you when I grow up" .
