Novelty kitchenware reached its peak in the 1960s–1970s, when ceramic produce-themed items were especially popular across the U.S. Often sold at gift shops, produce stands, or as premium giveaways, exaggerated vegetable shakers like these embraced the “bigger is better” attitude of the era. Their scale made them both useful and delightfully over-the-top—ideal for outdoor BBQs, farmhouse tables, and harvest décor.

Bell peppers, associated with summer gardens and family meals, were a favorite motif during the rise of farm-to-table trends. These green beauties represent a time when even the salt and pepper made you smile.
