Vintage Clear Glass Cherry Motif Salt and Pepper Shaker Set

This is an elegant set of two clear glass shakers featuring a cherry design and practical snap-on lids. The specific maker's mark on the base, two stags facing each other identifies this set as a product of Gerresheimer Glas (commonly known as "Gerrix") from Germany.

Provenance and Manufacturer Information The "Two Stags" (or Two Deer) embossed logo is the historical hallmark of the Gerresheimer glassworks in Germany. Gerrix was renowned throughout the mid-20th century for producing high-quality, durable household glassware. These sets were widely exported to South Africa during the 1970s and 1980s and were favoured for their clear, heavy glass and charming botanical motifs. The snap-on lid design was a popular functional feature for kitchenware of this era, providing a secure seal while remaining easy to remove for cleaning.
