This elegant and rare Mid-Century Modern salt and pepper shaker set by Tiffany & Co. exemplifies the refined simplicity and timeless sophistication characteristic of the era. Crafted in sterling silver, each piece features a clean, unadorned form that highlights the masterful design ethos of Tiffany’s postwar modernist output.
The set includes two distinct geometric forms: One shaker is rectangular with sharp, clean edges and a bold vertical stance. The other is square, offering a balanced, slightly more compact profile. Both pieces exhibit a sleek, highly polished finish with no applied decoration, engraving, or ornamentation—emphasizing the purity of form and function. The minimalist design is a hallmark of Mid-Century aesthetics, favoring geometry, simplicity, and practicality over elaborate embellishment. Marked on the underside with the Tiffany & Co. hallmark and “Sterling”, the shakers are a testament to the company’s legacy of craftsmanship and enduring modern design. Produced in the 1950s, they would make a striking addition to any collection of 20th-century silver or serve as a functional accent to a modern dining table.
