Sweet little pressed glass salt & pepper set
« on: August 27, 2011, 05:08:13 PM »
Hi.  I recently bought this from Ebay because I think it's lovely.  A google search shows that there are quite a few around.  I wonder if anyone knows where it was made/who by?  Many thanks.

 :hi: Nancy,
no idea so far, but are the red caps glass also?

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Hi Pamela.  No, the caps are plastic.  Cute huh?

Having a spare half hour I did an international Ebay search for 'glass salt' and came up with 11 of these listed in the US and one in Canada, which leads me to the conclusion that these are probably American.  Some are listed with metal caps but the majority with plastic.  Will now have a hunt for possible makers in the States.  :)
