Made of lightweight molded celluloid  plastic, each owl features bright green eyes, a cheerful yellow beak, and hand-painted red tulip blossoms at the base—classic details found in Hong Kong novelty kitchenware of the late 1950s–60s. At just 2.5” tall, these tiny owls add personality to any cozy kitchen nook, cottage shelf, or seasonal display. One shaker retains its original twist-off plastic stopper; the other is missing, consistent with age and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you collect owls, retro plastics, or mid-century kitchen décor, this sweet pair brings instant nostalgia and character to your Golden Harvest–themed spaces and fall cottage vignettes.\u003cbr\u003eHorned-owl shakers like these became popular in the post-WWII novelty boom, when Hong Kong (marked “H.K.” on many molded items) led mass production of colorful, inexpensive home décor. These lightweight plastics—often called “celluloid-style” by collectors—were molded in bright tones and hand-detailed with quick brushed accents. By the 1950s and 60s, they appeared in souvenir shops, five-and-dimes, and American kitchens across the country. Today they remain beloved for their expressive eyes, mid-century charm, and playful design language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53337034391836,"sku":"111625002-010-827-0072","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/2236\/5468\/files\/27956902-3D98-46A3-9E7B-2535D79C6CA7.jpg?v=1763320352","url":"https:\/\/www.callmeoldfashionedvintageshop.com\/products\/1950s-hk-owl-salt-pepper-shakers-cream-plastic-owls-w-red-tulip-flowers-mid-century-kitchen-collectible","provider":"Call Me Old Fashioned Vintage Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
