Fiesta® Shakers Vintage Fiesta® Salt and Pepper Shakers Fiesta® was the first Homer Laughlin line of dinnerware to have salt and pepper shakers. They were part of the original assortment in 1936 and were made during Fiesta®'s entire run and in all eleven glazes. Each was made with seven holes. The larger holes were for pepper and the smaller holes for salt. When the line was restyled in the late 1960s for Sheffield Amberstone, the holes were changed so the pepper had seven holes and the salt had six. The six- and seven-hole configuration was used with Coventry Casualstone and Fiesta® Ironstone. The larger Fiesta® Kitchen Kraft shakers were made in red, blue, yellow, and green from 1938 until October 30, 1944 (the color red itself was discontinued a year prior). As with other shakers, the large holes are for pepper and the small holes for salt.

They are still in production today and have been made in all of the standard Fiesta® glazes. They weren't supposed to be made in sapphire or raspberry, but some examples of both colors exist. Also, they have not been made in foundry.
