Infuse your table with character and collectibility with this rare pair of mid-century ceramic salt and pepper shakers, modeled as smiling aviators in vintage flight helmets and goggles. Hand-painted in warm iridescent amber tones with rosy cheeks and fine detail, these whimsical figures are more than just charming decor — they’re a piece of advertising history.
Embossed “Bs. Aires” and “Made in Argentina” on the base, and marked with “Vinos ‘Chilecito’ – marca registrada” on the back, these shakers were created as promotional merchandise for the Chilecito wine brand in Argentina, likely during the 1950s–60s. With original cork stoppers still intact, they appeal to collectors of figural shakers, vintage advertising, and wine-related memorabilia. Measure approximately 3.25” high and in excellent vintage condition.
