Mosser Glass Gigi Salt & Pepper Shakers - Jadeite

These Mosser Glass Gigi Salt & Pepper Shakers in Jadeite glass bring a colorful accent to your tabletop, featuring a distinctive spiked design with a metal shaker tops. Made by hand by the expert glassmakers at Mosser who press the molten glass into the vintage molds and put each piece through a glazer, which melts away the top layer to reveal a smooth shiny finish. Very slight color variations are normal and actually makes individual pieces unique. Shaker dimensions: 1.5” in diameter x 3” in height, 11oz capacity. Hand wash with warm soapy water. The salt & pepper shakers are finished by hand, so some variation in shape and size is to be expected.

The origins of Mosser Glass go back more than half a century when Orie Mosser was the plant manager of the Cambridge Glass Company in Cambridge, Ohio. His son Thomas began working there as a teenager, learning the trade from the ground up. When Cambridge Glass closed in 1954, he decided to continue in the glass business building a company of his own. In 1959, he was finally able to begin manufacturing glassware. By 1971 he established Mosser Glass with a product line that blends new designs with timeless classics acquired from Viking, L.G. Wright and of course, Cambridge Glass. They are now the last hand-pressed glass manufacturer in the United States.
