This unique and collectible pair of salt and pepper shakers from Gucci, crafted in Italy around 1970, showcases a lifelike quail design in silver-toned metal. Featuring a charmingly naturalistic form, each quail is fully three-dimensional, with one slightly larger than the other, creating a dynamic and harmonious pair. These elegant pieces are filled from the base, with seasoning dispensed through the top of the quails’ heads. Each piece is marked with Gucci on the underside, underscoring their provenance and luxury appeal.
The 1970s saw a strong design trend favoring whimsical forms inspired by animals and fruit, seen in iconic pieces like the Manetti and Freddotherm ice buckets. Gucci’s quail shakers capture the spirit of this era, blending humor with luxury craftsmanship. The quail, often symbolizing community and nurturing qualities, adds a touch of symbolism to these shakers, making them not only a practical table accessory but also a statement piece with cultural depth. Ideal for collectors of vintage Gucci, mid-century decor, or unique kitchen accessories, these salt and pepper shakers are a rare find that combines iconic Italian design with high-end heritage.
