Circa 1950s-60s, these Japan imported shakers are cold painted meaning the paint was applied over the finished shakers without a top coat of glaze for protection.  Therefore, these cold painted shakers frequently have paint wear.  The Asian themed cold painted shakers we've seen commonly come in these various colors (red, black, and green).

These sets stand 3'' in height with 3 and 2 pour holes and a "Japan" label / sticker.
