ABOUT PRODUCTID 2381
This pair of pig-shaped salt and pepper shakers, crafted in Sweden during the 1960s, is made from medium-brown walnut wood with a glossy lacquered finish that enhances the natural grain. Each shaker features a smoothly rounded, slightly elongated body, reflecting the harmonious proportions and minimalist aesthetic characteristic of Scandinavian modernism from this era. The lighter wooden accents—ears, snouts, and legs—add a subtle contrast and playful touch to the overall design. The snouts are fitted with drilled holes (three in the smaller pig, two in the larger), indicating their intended use for salt and pepper. The construction is precise, with securely attached details and a well-balanced silhouette. Minor signs of use, such as small scratches and a gentle patina, are present, consistent with age but without significant damage—this set is preserved in very good condition. These petite shakers embody the spirit of 1960s Swedish design, where simplicity merged with the understated wit of everyday objects. The smooth wooden surfaces, rounded contours, and thoughtful detailing speak to an era when functionality and playful charm went hand in hand. With their whimsical ears and soft walnut sheen, the pigs evoke a gentle smile, as if inviting one to the table in the spirit of Scandinavian hospitality. The set would complement a wooden dining table in a minimalist Scandinavian interior or serve as a collectible accent in an eclectic arrangement. The shakers could be paired with simple ceramic tableware or linen textiles in natural hues to highlight their organic appeal. Alternatively, they may be displayed on a shelf among books or ceramics, offering a subtle vintage note and a reminder of the joy found in daily rituals. No special
