Cast and chased silver salt and pepper shakers in the form of frogs with large bulging glass eyes and comically rotund bellies. The holes where pepper and salt come out are in the tops of their heads and could be used for shaking any ground spice. While they are great novelty items, they are still practical and add humour to the dining table.
Known as the king of spices, pepper is one of the oldest and most widely traded spices. In past centuries, noble and wealthy families able to afford pepper would present it in silver pepper pots or pepperettes, in a host of novelty designs, to beautify their table and impress their guests.
