A charming pair of vintage ceramic cow-shaped salt and pepper shakers in a glossy purple glaze. One cow is in a reclining position, while the other stands with perked ears. These novelty shakers likely date to the mid-20th century and could be of Japanese or American origin, as whimsical animal-themed kitchenware was popular during that time.
