This pair of pig-shaped salt and pepper shakers exemplifies Swedish tableware design from the 1960s. Made from light mahogany wood in a warm, golden-brown hue, the set includes a larger and a smaller spherical container, each standing on four rounded wooden legs. The snouts and ears are crafted from darker wood, providing contrast and highlighting the playful character of the objects, while the eyes are rendered as small, dark dots. Both pieces feature a glossy lacquered finish that enhances the smoothness and wood grain. The set is presented on a rectangular tray with gently raised edges and a central upright handle topped with a spherical knob, all in matching light wood. The design is minimalist and geometric, characteristic of Scandinavian mid-century modern, with precise joinery and no visible hardware. The set is preserved in excellent condition, free from damage or signs of wear—lacquer is even, and all parts appear original. These small table accents convey the cheerful spirit of the 1960s, when Scandinavian design embraced both simplicity and a touch of playful form. The pigs, with their soft lines and contrasting features, seem to invite diners to gather in a mood of everyday delight. The lacquered mahogany reflects light, evoking memories of family meals where craftsmanship and a sense of humor were equally valued. This set could be displayed on an oak or walnut table, allowing the warmth of the mahogany to resonate among natural materials. It works well in Scandinavian, minimalist, or eclectic interiors, alongside 1960s ceramics or simple linen napkins. The shakers may be paired with other wooden or stoneware accessories to create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for daily meals or casual gatherings.
