I just purchased Russian nesting doll salt & pepper shakers at a resale store “Neat Stuff” here in Davenport, Iowa. The pepper is male and blue, the salt is female and red. The e-mail sticker on the bottom is hohloma@nts.nnov.ru but when I tried to send an e-mail to learn more about these salt and pepper shakers, it came back. Does anyone know about these? They are beautiful and I have nesting dolls, but have never seen salt and pepper shakers before. Thank you Bobbi

Oh, so adorable! You could do this with decorated matryoshka dolls too, a set of little Russian ladies in the table would be sweet :) I am so going to try this!

Nice idea, but why to paint the dolls? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:7babushkadolls.JPG

Reminds me of Mint’s S&P shakers – http://www.fitzsu.com/mint-salt-pepper-p-2330.html

To everyone wondering about the come-apart-ability of these…nesting dolls usually tend to be pretty snug. Normal use should be fine with them. If you have kids that like to throw things, however…
