Vintage 1950s Pink Polka Dot Cruet

After the sombre days of the 1940s, the 1950s was a time when people wanted more colour in their homes and there was an explosion of designers who had a new, modern outlook. This curvaceous cruet, abstract in shape, has a white concave inner surface while the outside is decorated with white spots against a pink background. They both have cork stoppers. The salt is slightly larger than the pepper – I guess they didn’t use so much spicy stuff then! – but they are undoubtedly a pair.
