Question

Made in Japan S&P Set
Hello, I am wondering if you can tell me the approximate age and more detailed origin of this very unique salt and pepper set from Japan that I received from my parents. They received it from my Grandfather. Beyond that I do not have any information.  It is approx. 4" long x 3" tall.   The bottom is marked "MADE IN JAPAN" but there are no other markings.  I can send additional picture if necessary.  Any information is much appreciated!

Answer
Dear Laurie,
I've never seen anything quite like this. I'm not an antiques expert, but here are some folks that have been quite helpful to a number of people;
