Vintage Style Salt And Pepper Shaker Sets

Add some fun to your dining room table this year with a vintage style salt and pepper shaker set. Not only is it a great opportunity to introduce a little color to your dining room table, it is also a wonderful addition to your fine tableware collection that will last for years to come. Vintage style salt and pepper shaker sets can range from funky retro patterns to classic designs reminiscent of the 1950's.

Fine tableware is one of the most popular collectables in the United States today. Collecting antique pieces, while a rewarding pursuit for originals, can be extremely time consuming and sometimes items have been damaged over time either through natural wear and tear or neglect. Vintage style glass offers the beauty of original designs and allows historical designs to be available to build a fine tableware collection.

Although salt and pepper shaker sets are available in a wide selection of materials that ranges from plastic to metal, glass is by far the most beautiful and unique. Glass offers a richness of color and quality of design that is unavailable in most other materials. Metals can become easily scratched and dented over time and plastic can warp or discolor. When cared for properly glass offers durability and resistance to showing use over time.

Glass comes in several colors including Cobalt Blue, Ruby Red, Emerald Green, Vaseline, Clear, Pink, Black and Jadeite. Depending on the style of shaker sets the individual containers may be labeled as salt and pepper or they are sometimes distinguished by the number of holes in the lid. Most salt and pepper shakers utilize a metal screw top lid that can be easily removed for refilling and cleaning.

Care for your fine tableware collection by storing items when they are not in use on level surfaces. If they are being transported anywhere, take care to wrap each individual item separately and secure with tape, bubble wrap or newspaper. Glass can break when transferred suddenly from one extreme temperature to another (example: fridge to microwave) so use caution and try to keep glass at room temperature if possible. Not all glassware is microwave and/or dishwasher safe – be sure to ask before trying if you are unsure.

Building a fine tableware collection is one of those wonderful pursuits that will not only add beauty to your dining room table but will also last a lifetime. LookInTheAttic & Company offers a brilliant selection of fine tableware and they offer free assistance and help. Search for true colored glass (minerals added directly to the glass – not painted on) to ensure color will remain over time and be sure to ask questions. Add new color to your table this year and begin your collection today.
