Vintage Ceramic Grated Cheese Shaker. Measures about 7" in height. Very good condition. I did not open the cork or clean it.
Add a dash of Mid-Century charm to your dining table with this delightful "Luigi" figural grated cheese shaker. Standing approximately 7 inches tall, this cheerful chef is a quintessential piece of retro kitchenware, likely produced in Japan during the 1960s or 70s to capture the popular "pizzeria" aesthetic of the era.
The shaker features vibrant hand-painted details, from Luigi's rosy cheeks and tall chef's hat to his classic white apron prominently labeled for grated cheese. Designed for both form and function, the holes in the top of his hat allow for easy dispensing, while the base retains its original cork stopper. This piece is a wonderful find for collectors of advertising icons or anyone looking to add a whimsical touch to their next pasta night. It remains in very good condition with the glazed finish and colors appearing bright and well-preserved.
This item is vintage, approximately 50 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
