The theme for our June gathering was salt and pepper shakers and cruet sets; a variety of interesting items were shown and discussed.
A cat lover had four salt and pepper sets featuring cats – all were gifts received at a work Kris Kringle. There was a set of salt and pepper shakers in the shape of baby deer that were won on the spinning wheel at the Benalla show many, many years ago.
Many will remember the traditional cut glass cruet sets from years ago. One set had salt and pepper shakers and a mustard pot; there was another similar set that also included two small bottles for vinegar. Silver salt and pepper shakers were shown along with a salt cellar with a tiny spoon.
At our meeting on the Monday 4th July, we will be looking for “drinking vessels”; maybe glasses, mugs, tankards, steins etc. We look forward to you joining our group on that date at 10.00am.
