Sanborns Mexico Sterling Salt & Pepper Shakers Pair 1930s

This refined pair of sterling silver salt and pepper shakers was produced in Mexico for Sanborns during the 1930s, a formative period for high-quality Mexican silver made for both domestic and international markets. Each shaker is solid sterling silver (not weighted) and bears a complete set of authentic hallmarks, including “Sanborns Mexico,” “Hecho en Mexico,” “RRR,” “925,” “MM,” and the production number 2352 within a shield. A small pictorial owl hallmark, documented in Sanborns silver, is also present.

The shakers feature tall, elegant forms with flared bases and pierced domed tops, accented by an ornate repoussé band decorated with floral and foliate motifs. The craftsmanship reflects early Mexican silver traditions combined with refined tableware aesthetics for which Sanborns is well regarded. With a substantial combined weight of 121.05 grams, this matched pair has strong visual presence and collector appeal.

A desirable example of early Sanborns Mexican sterling, suitable for collectors of historic silver, Mexican decorative arts, or fine vintage tableware.
