Delightful miniature salt and pepper shakers in hallmarked Portuguese silver, each with a graceful loop handle and a pierced dome lid. Their rounded, almost amphora-like silhouette feels wonderfully traditional—small-scale tableware made to bring a touch of ceremony to everyday dining.
This pair comes from a Portuguese solar (manor house) and carries the quiet character you only get with genuinely old pieces: gentle surface wear, a soft sheen, and the pleasing weight of real silver in the hand. Ideal for a classic breakfast tray, a styled dining table, or as a collector’s detail in a curated kitchen.
