Swarovski lot of faceted crystal salt and pepper shakers signed SC design 1980.

This magnificent pair of salt and pepper shakers is made of cut crystal from Swarovski. It is a beautiful crystal table set signed by the famous Austrian crystal manufacturer. These shakers are faceted and mounted in silver-plated metal. It is a vintage creation from the 1980s, signed with the SC logo used between 1976 and 1988. The adventure of the famous brand began with cut crystal in 1895 in Wattens, Austria, in Tyrol: its founder, Daniel Swarovski, son of a glass cutter in Bohemia, revolutionised the cutting technique by inventing a machine capable of cutting crystal with unmatched precision. Today better known for its jewellery, Swarovski has created art objects, design pieces, and collaborated with major figures in fashion and luxury. In generally good condition, each shaker measures 7 X 3.5 cm in diameter. I note signs of use and some oxidation of the metal due to salt. The cap of the salt shaker does not open well. They are marked with the Swarovski "SC" logo.
