Special Comments:
Shaker is the same size as Horseshoe and Astor and the Beaded Oval Mirror shakers, as well as the Square “S” and “P” shakers. The difference being in the pattern on the sides. These are all thought to be produced by the same company. Once thought to be manufactured by Challinor Taylor and Company, there is no evidence other than color to support that theory. The name Slag was given to this shaker by Lechners. Transparent colors were discovered after the shaker was named.
