Description

This vintage amber glass fish salt and pepper shaker set features a novelty design with a fish, tree, and fishing net shape. The set includes a stand, pepper shaker, and salt shaker, all hanging on a metal tree stand. The collection embodies a fishing theme and showcases a unique combination of glass and metal materials. Perfect for any occasion, this set is a charming addition to any kitchen or collectibles display.

These amber glass fish have a carved brown metal head with an amber glass body. The patina on the heads has turned a bit turquoise in a few places suggesting they are made of copper. The tree stand is a painted black metal with a very slight bend in the bottom of the stand on the underside. The fishing net and other decorative elements are intact. This is a beautiful piece of art work that would be enjoyed by any fishing enthusiast.

History My grandmother was the original owner (born in 1898) who never used it. She kept it in a curio cabinet in a pet-free/smoke-free home. It was given to me in 1994 and remained in a box. Recently, I removed it and it's now looking for a new home.
