Salt-and-Pepper Shakers are among the best dinner table collectibles. My favorite tables are strewn with sets of salt and pepper shakers close enough that you never have to say, "Please pass the salt," which prevents a lot of salt being tossed over the shoulder.

Imagine having such a diverse collection of salt and pepper shakers that you could set a dinner table with a pair that reflected the personality of each guest.

Imagine having salt and pepper shakers for any theme imaginable.

Imagine having a collection of salt and pepper shakers that you could use to teach children all about the world.

Imagine having a collection of salt and pepper shakers that reflected your travels or the places you would like to visit one day.

While minimalists may prefer simple matching pairs, collectors can line display cases with hundreds of pairs ranging from animals to historical figures to advertising ephemera, to fine china, crystal and sterling silver.
