    New Mexico Kitsch: Seven (Pairs) of Salt-and-Pepper Shakers
    These shakers were acquired in the 1990s as we traveled in the "Land of Enchantment." They use stereotyped imagery to evoke the state and its rich heritage; many were actually manufactured abroad in Taiwan in the 1950s-60s (?). Here is a listing:

    (3) "New Mexico Longhorn & Chief," brown glaze with relief. Height - 2.25 inches.
    (4-5) "Barrel Cacti with Flowers," green glaze on actual cactus stand. Length - 6 inches; height - 2.5 inches. Cork stoppers. Inscription in white reads "
    Prewitt,
    New Mexico."
