Vintage Icing Sugar Shaker

Add a touch of retro charm to your baking with this Vintage Ceramic Icing Sugar Shaker. Made in glazed ceramic with a perforated lid, it was designed for dusting cakes, pastries and desserts with a fine, even layer of icing sugar — the sort of practical yet decorative tool that once lived permanently on a mid‑century kitchen shelf.

Its simple, functional form and nostalgic appeal make it ideal for collectors of vintage kitchenware, ceramic utensils, and culinary memorabilia. Whether displayed or used, it brings a warm, homely feel to any kitchen.

Background – Ceramic Shakers in the Vintage Kitchen

From the 1950s through the 1970s, ceramic shakers were a staple of British home baking. Durable, easy to clean and often attractively glazed, they were sold through hardware shops, department stores and catalogue ranges.

Today, they’re appreciated not only for their practicality but also for their retro styling and connection to traditional home baking.
