2” “925 sterling” makers mark to small to read. Cut glass salt and pepper shakers with sterling silver caps were a popular addition to dining tables from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. The intricate cutting of the glass allowed light to refract beautifully, adding a decorative element to the table setting. Sterling silver was often used for the caps and collars due to its durability and aesthetic appeal, frequently featuring embossed or engraved patterns.

These sets were produced by numerous glassworks and silversmiths, often as part of larger tableware collections. They were considered functional yet elegant pieces, appreciated for their craftsmanship and ability to enhance the dining experience. The combination of clear, cut glass and polished sterling silver made them desirable items for both everyday use and special occasions.
