ASSORTED FIGURAL GLASS SALT SHAKERS, LOT OF FIVE, various colors, comprising two "Genteel" suit-wearing elephants (one of which has been coated in modern paint), a "Learned Fox" reading a book, and two opaque white/milk glass "Billiken" examples with one having good old gold paint-decorated surface; each with roughly factory-ground threaded mouth retaining a period metal lid. First quarter 20th century. 4 1/8" to 5" H.
Literature: Lechner - The World of Salt Shakers, Vol. 2, p. 282, left; Eikelberner/Agadjanian/Bowden - The Complete American Glass Candy Containers Handbook, figs. 90, 207, and 470.
Catalogue Note: The paint on the taller elephant, as mentioned in Lechner's book, is modern. It appears it was done to help mask an epoxy repair to the proper right ear. The authors overlooked the obvious repair to the elephant's ear, however, and lambasted it as a "fake", which seems unnecessarily harsh when confronted with the fact that it may have merely been a smart way for a previous owner to get some enjoyment out of a damaged piece.
Generally excellent condition with a couple having deep flakes to outer edges of mouths, mostly as made; minor losses to the painted Billiken, and one of the Elephants having a repaired hole to ear with associated modern overpaint to disguise it.
The estate collection of Richard and Lesley Harris, Branchville, NJ.
