This is part of our Aloha Tiki Tiki Islands Fusion theme, featuring a fabulous pair of Mid-Century Hawaii souvenir salt and pepper shakers. These shakers stand 5” high with a 2” diameter and weigh a combined 12.1 oz. The glass shakers are adorned with a black design of the Hawaiian islands, complete with their names, and the word “Hawaii” in striking gold. They also feature silver tops, giving them a touch of mid-century flair. A true vintage kitsch item, perfect for collectors or anyone looking to bring a bit of island charm into their kitchen or dining room.

Mid-century Hawaii souvenir salt and pepper shakers became highly popular during the 1950s and 1960s, a period when tourism to Hawaii was booming, thanks to increased accessibility through commercial air travel. As travelers flocked to the islands, they sought tangible reminders of their tropical paradise experience, leading to a surge in kitschy, yet elegant, souvenirs like these black and gold glass shakers. Reflecting the island’s allure and mid-century design trends, these souvenirs encapsulated both the glamorous and playful spirit of the era. The incorporation of map designs and island names in gold was common, serving both as a memento of the trip and as a functional, decorative piece that could bring a touch of Hawaii into everyday life. These items remain a favorite among collectors of vintage tiki and mid-century decor today.
