Exquisite Antique Mt. Washington Glass Tomato Shape Salt & Pepper Shakers 1880's

Description: This is an exquisite, original, rare pair of antique, late 19th century, six lobed, tomato shaped, Mt. Washington salt and pepper shakers. They feature hand painted vines with multicolored grapes and flowers. The shakers have elegant, hammered metal lids. They get noticed. These salt and pepper shakers are made of Burmese glass, which was developed by Frederick Shirley at the Mt. Washington Glass Works in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1885. Burmese glass is opaque white with a two-toned background, shading ranging from peach to yellow. Polychrome-enamel floral decorations are added by hand. The look is Victorian. They are truly fantastic. Approximate measurements:1.75 inches tall 2.5 inches diameter CONDITION - Excellent - Collector's quality: All original, together since birth. No chips, cracks, or repairs of any kind. The lids come off, the screw cap threading is clean and intact. The glass insides of both shakers are also very clean. These shakers are fully operational. That's very rare for a pair this age. You can see in the photos there is some minimal oxidation on the underneath of the lids, but that's it. These Mt Washington shakers are as good as it gets! These shakers have been in our family for decades, always kept out of direct sunlight in our dry and smoke free home. We never used them. They were rarely handled. We just displayed them. That's why they look so good. Your purchase will be very carefully packed and shipped. You will be well pleased.
