ABOUT PRODUCTID 20785
This Art Deco bakelite salt shaker, created in Germany in the 1920s, features a stylized pear form with gently curved lines and a rounded base. The body is crafted from saturated orange bakelite with a glossy, light-reflective surface that highlights the intensity of its color. Details include silver-plated metal fittings shaped as a stem and two leaves, cast with visible veining; their subtly matte, aged patina emphasizes the organic nature of the design. The threaded closure at the base is intact and functional, and the overall construction demonstrates the precision and solidity typical of German craftsmanship. Dimensions: height 4 cm, length 10 cm, width 5 cm. Condition: good, showing natural patina and minor signs of use consistent with authentic vintage pieces from the era, with no significant damage.This small salt shaker tells a story of the 1920s—a time when Art Deco drew inspiration from nature, translating organic motifs into new synthetic materials and geometric stylization. The bakelite pear appears as an everyday sculpture: organic in inspiration, yet filtered through a modernist vision. The metal leaves, with their gentle patina, evoke the passage of time, while the warm orange bakelite recalls the refined breakfast tables of interwar Europe.The shaker would serve as a subtle accent on a dining table or in a collector’s cabinet; it could be paired with porcelain in geometric patterns, chromed cutlery, or clear glassware. It fits seamlessly into interiors combining Art Deco with modernist elements, as well as in eclectic arrangements where objects with historical provenance tell a quiet story of past eras.
