A most unusual pair of silverplate figural PHEASANT Salt & Pepper Shakers by Weidlich Brothers Manufacturing Company (W.B. MFG CO.) in that these very detailed figural pheasants. Picture these graceful figural pheasants adorning your Thanksgiving Day table!
Each of these silverplate pheasants are in very good condition, with only a minimal amount of silverplate.
The heads of these silverplate salt and pepper pheasants unscrew, and each is perforated to be used as a salt and a pepper shaker respectively, however, since there is no way to ensure that corrosive salt can be completely removed from the body of the pheasant, we would suggest that they be used for decorative purposes only.
Each silverplate figural pheasant measures approximately 6" from tip of tail to tip of the beak, each stands 3.25" tall and each weighs 5.1 ounces - 10.2 ounces for the pair! Touchmarked on the base of the tail feathers with W.B. MFG. Co. You can read more about the history of Weidlich Bros. Manufacturing Co. from our Silver Manufacturers pages.
