Vintage Nippon Hand Painted Porcelain Salt & Pepper Shaker Set

3 inches high X 1.5 wide Nippon porcelain refers to items marked with 'Nippon,' which was required on all porcelain exported to the United States from Japan between 1891 and 1921. These pieces are known for their delicate hand-painted designs, often featuring floral motifs, landscapes, and intricate gold detailing. During this period, Japanese porcelain became highly popular in the West, prized for its beauty and craftsmanship. Salt and pepper shaker sets were a common household item, and Nippon produced many charming examples that are now sought after by collectors. The rose design and gold accents are typical of the era, reflecting the aesthetic preferences of the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods.
