My 99 cent thrift store find. There are no maker marks. Is anyone familiar with this pattern? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

I believe these are
I believe these are American. I had them wrapped and stored, but got them out to check. They aren't white and light weight. They have some heft to them and are a more off white. I know the pattern is traditional, but thought I'd put it out there. It's kind of an optical illusion because of the perspective, but the right shaker is shorter than the other.

If they are lighter weight
If they are lighter weight and whiter than usual American ceramics, they may be made in Japan. It is easier to tell if you are handling and looking at the piece directly. The decoration is rather traditional, but the shape is interesting and similar to other S&Ps I've seen..

S&P
Thank you very much for the valuable tidbit! It was the shape that initially attracted me, but throw wheat on anything and I'm there. I'll keep the ceramic info in mind when a-thrifting I go...
