Fitz & Floyd ‘King and Queen’ salt & pepper shakers
made in Japan, c.1960s.
Fitz and Floyd, based in America, has been producing quirky/novelty ceramics for the last fifty years…and now their 60s items have become ‘retro’ and very collectible. You might remember a previous s & p set I posted that were Dutch girls that dispensed salt and pepper OUT OF THEIR EYES! Well, now you can add the King and Queen to your condiments dispensed from an orifice set. Retro novelty item just moved right on over to: _kitsch!
To be fair, the King also dispenses salt from the top of his head [/brain cavity.] The Queen however, is all about the eyes!
For your retro dinner table / you’ll never look the same way at the royal family again!
For sale: $AUD35
re:retro 
These are fabulous! I laughed so much while reading the bit about the salt and pepper dispensing from their eyes. Too funny!
it’s a weird concept, isn’t ? i wonder who came up with the idea of using eyes as a means of dispensing s & p!
too cute! 🙂
thanks jacqui…so far i have seen the dutch girl designs, and now the king and queen set. i wonder if fitz & floyd made any others (love to see, for example, the rest of the royal family!)
It’d be great if you could substitute them for chess pieces!
