Vintage Emsa West Germany Modernist Red Plastic Salt & Pepper Shakers with Matching Egg Cups and Tray, 1960s Floral Design

A cheerful modernist kitchen set by Emsa, West Germany, featuring two salt and pepper shakers, four egg cups, and a matching tray in vivid red with stylized green flower décor. Each piece is signed Emsa West Germany underneath, confirming its mid‑century origin.
The design captures the playful optimism of the 1960s — bold color, clean lines, and simple floral graphics that bring warmth to any breakfast table or kitchen display. Made of durable hard plastic (likely melamine or phenolic resin), it’s lightweight yet sturdy.
Very good vintage condition overall. The salt shaker lid has a thin crack but remains fully usable; a touch of glue inside would easily stabilize it. Surfaces are glossy and clean with minimal wear consistent with age.
