Darby & Joan salt and pepper shakers produced by Devonmoor of Devon, England, circa 1950. Darby and Joan have become synonymous with a married couple celebrated for their mutual attachment or a happily married couple who lead a placid, uneventful life or a loving, old-fashioned and virtuous couple. Darby and his wife Joan were first mentioned in print in a poem published in "The Gentleman's Magazine" by Henry Woodfall whose original title was "The Joys of Love never forgot. A Song".
