    The little salt shaker (or was it for sugar?) stands 11 cm and is a really charming fdesign for the blue series which was made by Vallien for Afors in 1960. These are his first works. The other pictures show a jar of the same serie, and al my Vallien items so far. There is an interesting page about Vallien:

    The fourth image shows all my Vallien items so far.
