Batter up! This irresistible pair of anthropomorphic tomato baseball players will steal home plate — and your heart. Dressed in crisp white uniforms with black belts and cleats, these rosy-cheeked characters sport painted lashes and the most charming expressions in the bullpen. One holds a wooden bat (P for Pepper), the other a catcher’s mitt (S for Salt).

Hand-painted Japanese export porcelain at its most playful, these shakers are a textbook example of the novelty kitchenware that flooded the American market in the 1950s and ’60s — whimsical, well-crafted, and utterly collectible.
