Circa 1940-1942: The vintage Harlequin shakers were designed by Frederick Rhead early in 1936, before the pottery line had been named or taken on an identity. The salt and pepper shaker is a staple in a dinnerwares line, and it is no surprise that they would have been among the first pieces to take shape. Of course the red fiestaware glaze would not be used on the harlequin line until the 1940s and then was quickly withdrawn by the end of 1942 making the red Harlequin pieces hard to find. These shakers are an acutual pair with bigger holes for the salt and no damage to either piece. Measures 3 3/8"h x 2 1/4"w
