flea market finds: shake your booty!

i have long since learned that patience is a virtue and never is this saying more true than in my thrifting adventures. a few months ago, i found out that we needed a salt and pepper shaker for guests who wanted to spice up their food a bit more than usual. also, that said salt and pepper shaker should not break our bank BUT should be pretty enough to grace our table. true enough, a few months later, the thrifting Gods once more smiled at me as i came across these in my favorite thrift shop last week:

both have a glass bottom base with a stainless steel screw-off lid with a mark that says "18/10" (high grade steel). i just love how simple the design is but how elegant and unassuming they look

the mark on the bottom says UWO Germany-West. not much on UWO except that what they made before are now vintage pieces (both East and West Germany were officially unified in 1991)
