These three pieces were sold separately boxed and I assume that when purchasing you could make a decision on what you needed.
The clear and blue shakers are so beautifully made. A solid base, ground out to take the plug, and the quirky fine single hole shaker stem with it's deliberate bend. To me these are just great design executed wonderfully.
The little bottle is for soy sauce. Again a perfect design for it's use: just the right amount dribbles out to season your meal and the lid gives it a typically Japanese humorous touch.
I believe these date to the 1970s.
They are just beautiful, Karen, and much more in line with our idea of Noritake :)
These are exquisitely beautiful, Karen. I didn't know they made such modernistic Shoyu (soy sauce) dispensers in Japan. I guess that tells you where my mindset is. [;>)))
I agree Peggy - Noritake beauty here. Thanks. I always enjoy your take on things!
They are beautiful Blade and thanks for giving me the correct name for soy sauce Shoyu.
One of the things I love about Japanese design is they accept modern very easily but never forget the traditional. Such a great blend.
Crazy coincidence! I just found out a piece I have on the counter in the master bath is Noritake. I was just letting it sit there with its pretty pop of color, pretending to be a ring holder with no rings. : )

These are wonderful!
I have seen but don't own one of these little objects from Noritake. They are great things so lucky you!
There has been some discussion what they are:
A tiny bud vase, or a paperweight, or a ring holder, or just a thing? Doesn't matter just enjoy.
I think these are about the same time as this cruet set 60s-70s and I suspect they were also made by Sasaki for Noritake. No proof of that though!
