Vint Eales 1779 Pewter Salt & Pepper

This vintage tabletop set includes four small pewter seasoning pieces by Eales 1779, made in Italy. The set appears to include two perforated-top salt or pepper shakers and two small pepper mills or grinders with knobbed tops and grinder mechanisms visible on the underside. Each piece has a rounded hourglass form with molded ring details and a soft silver-gray pewter finish. These would work well as a small table service set, collectible pewter grouping, or vintage kitchen display.
