My mother had a large salt and pepper shaker collection when I was growing up. Many were souvenirs from trips taken, while others were themes and creative novelties. Her collection no longer exists [she sold it], but I always think of her when I see salt and pepper shakers in antique stores.
I only have a few tea-themed salt and pepper shakers, but since recent posts have featured my tea-themed collections, I'm sharing them today.
The first is set is "Bearware Pottery" [Boyd's Bears]. They're collectible, and are numbered on the bottom. As yet, I haven't used them. They've just been residing in one of my china cabinets.

The next two sets are silverplate teapots by Godinger, and have been used many times. Since salt corrodes metal, I try to remember to remove it after each use.
I received the cute vintage set below with matching tooth pick holder, last Christmas.
The last set isn't in the shape of a teapot, but they'll go perfectly with my burgundy and dark green Depression glassware that I use for fall and Christmas teas. I bought them recently at Tea by Three's going out of business sale. There are three sets of the burgundy, and three sets of the green. At $3 for all, I couldn't pass them up!
Now tell me about your tea-themed salt and pepper shakers.
