Coors Ceramics

Collection of Coors porcelain breweriana - image

The Coors Porcelain Co. produced these advertising items for its sister brewing company.
Production began with the end of prohibition in 1933, and ended with the outbreak of WWII.
The mini-bottles were salt shakers, popular in the 30s & 40s for salting the beer to invigorate the head.
Often these bottles are presented as salt & peppers, but they were not issued in sets.
The mini-mug [far left] was probably a matchstick or toothpick holder.
