Arabia Lappalainen Female Salt/Pepper Shaker, Vintage

Lappalainen (Lapplander) features a very adorable couple from Lappland wearing traditional Sami dresses. The blue, red and yellow colours are hand-painted on the black design by Esteri Tomula, much loved in Finland for her small figurines. Beautiful object for a lover of small details. The perfect thing to bring a little whimsy to your table and a smile to your lips, these figures make you think of wild foraged berries and fish soup made by a campfire. A lovely gift for any collector of small figurines or someone dreaming of travelling to experience the deep magic of the Arctic Circle.

Salt and pepper shakers are often used on breakfast tables to add flavour to boiled eggs, but they are useful in any table setting to let guests adjust the flavour of their portion. They add a delightful little detail to any table setting and bring charm to your kitchen decor.

This cute shaker has some marks of use. The decoration is a bit worn especially on the top of the shaker. As typical to vintage shakers, the material of the stopper flakes gradually as the time goes by.
