The set includes a traditional 3-hole and 4-hole design to keep salt and pepper distinct at a glance. Both pieces have developed the same delicate, all-over glaze crazing common to aged Japanese ceramics — a fine web of hairline lines that reads as authentic vintage character rather than damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether completing a cherished Christmastime set or adding a touch of retro charm to your winter table, these shakers are a sweet reminder of Christmases past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNIKKO is a Japanese manufacturer of fine ceramics, known for its tableware products. It was founded in 1908 in Kanazawa, Ishikawa by Lord Maeda and other local nobles. The Maeda lords especially fostered arts and crafts, and made Kanazawa a cultural center like Tokyo and Kyoto. The company originally gained fame for its ironstone ceramics. Following WWII, NIKKO expanded into Japanese households, and by the 1970s, they introduced advanced fine bone china to their lineup. Today, they handle all production in-house, are global leaders in bone china, and remain the only manufacturer in Japan. Nikko's \"Christmastime\" and \"Happy Holidays\" are two of the most beloved and collected holiday dinnerware lines in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePairs beautifully with our Nikko Happy Holidays pieces — the same design, in different shapes and pieces.
