Shakers By Form
Collecting salt and pepper shakers is a hobby with a little something for everyone. Whether you fancy figurals, go-togethers, clowns, Christmas-related shakers, characters from cartoons, literature and pop culture, ethnic shakers, kissers, nesters or nodders, you'll quickly discover there are shakers in just about any form you can imagine.
