Porcelain Occupied Japan Salt and Peppers

HERE ARE SOME UNIQUE OCCUPIED JAPAN SALT and Pepper shakers that say Japan on the bottom of the shaker and the box is stamped Made in Occupied Japan. The stamp is faded but I had others that said the same, so I can verify that is what is says. These shakers came from a gift shop in Pipestone, Minnesota that closed in the early 50's. Are they tomatoes or what? New in the Box condition and interesting!
