    I do have an older Shawnee book (The Collector's Guide to Shawnee Pottery) and am not finding them in there.
    Of course, that doesn't mean for certain they aren't Shawnee - they might be found in a different book.

    I have 2 Shawnee books, Mangus ID Guide and the Collector's Guide, and I didn't see fish shakers listed in either of them.

    The Shawnee fish I'm used to seeing is the Blowfish:

    I'll take another look at the books. Maybe there's a version that's a miniature, and the shaker configuration isn't shown.

    OK - here is what is shown in the Mangus miniatures section. Not the best pic, unfortunately. Are your fish different on each side? The cream colored fish looks similar, but the blue one doesn't for some reason.

    I also looked on Worthpoint, and they only have a couple of listings for shaker sets IDed as Shawnee. One shows a matching pair of these, and says they are "are referred to as Stippled Blow Fish in the Shawnee price guides." That attribution isn't in either the Mangus ID & Value Guide, or the Vanderbilt Collector's Guide.

    My fish are the same on both sides. Thanks for taking the time to look in the books.

    Hey there...I'm new to this forum, so hope I do this right. I found your shakers pictured in my big Shawnee book (by Curran). Says the shakers were made in turquoise & off-white & not marked. I think you have a mixed set since you have one of each color. And yes, book calls them Stippled Blow Fish. Hope that helps.
