JAPANESE SALT AND PEPPER SET
Influenced by pop art, designers in the 1960s were found applying hues of orange, purple and pink on the most mundane objects. From storage canisters and rolling pins, to salt and pepper sets like the one above, glorious shades of technicolor were finding their way on to domestic items. This set is indicative of a desire in the 1960s and 1970s to return to more traditional forms, while exploring color in new ways.

Mugs were versatile as they could be decorated with anything from abstract patterns to political slogans, could fit right in with any decor and could be mixed and matched. this particular set of Japanese mugs are a beautiful shade of blue with a relief of flowers.
