Description: The one-piece set was designed by a New York artist, Ms Xindi Yan, from a rough sketch provided by Barbara Cummings. We wanted to capture the convention theme of “Spice Up the Capitol” and thought that the Capitol Building with the yin and yang/salt and pepper/Democrat and Republican symbols did just that.
The mold was produced by the Petro Mold Company of Pennsylvania and the shakers were made and decorated by Linda Littlejohn of R & L Ceramics of Illinois. We were delighted to have a completely U.S. made shaker set. Hubert and Clara McHugh were Chairpersons of the Convention Set Committee.
