Vintage Kelvin’s Treasures Whale Salt & Pepper Shakers
Vintage Kelvin’s Treasures Whale Salt & Pepper Shakers
The catch of the day, and they have faces.
This wonderfully kitschy pair of vintage Kelvin’s Treasures salt and pepper shakers features two very pleased-looking whales rendered in glossy shades of seafoam, gray and black. One arches forward while the other throws its tail in the air, making the pair especially charming displayed nose-to-nose.
Made in Japan and dating to the midcentury era, they retain the original red-and-gold Kelvin’s Treasures foil label. The pearlescent luster glaze and hand-painted expressions give them exactly the kind of character we look for in small vintage objects.
Use them at the table or let them live permanently on a shelf. Frankly, they seem happier there.
