Description
This salt and pepper set comes as three pieces: two glazed stoneware shakers and an acacia tray that holds them side by side. The shakers are tall and rounded, with domed tops pierced by small holes, more on one than the other, so you can tell salt from pepper at a glance. Fine sprigs of wild grasses and flowers climb each cream body from the base, light and airy rather than busy. The whole set measures 12.5cm long, 5.5cm wide and 11cm tall, has a stated capacity of 50ml and weighs just 0.33KG, so it is easy to pass along the table.
It belongs wherever seasoning gets used: on the worktop while you cook, on the kitchen table at breakfast, or in the middle of a dinner table where everyone can reach it. The tray keeps both shakers together, so they travel from the counter to the table and back as one, and the narrow footprint tucks in easily among plates and glasses. Between meals it sits neatly on an open shelf or dresser. The cream stoneware and wildflower sprigs suit a cottage kitchen or farmhouse table, and they soften a plain modern scheme too. It also makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for someone setting up a first kitchen.
The shakers are stoneware, the tray is acacia, and silicone completes the list of materials. The set does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so wash the shakers by hand and let them dry fully before refilling, as salt clumps when it meets damp. Wipe the acacia tray with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, since wood is happiest kept out of standing water. For the table, set the tray on a linen runner beside a small jug of garden flowers, and the sprigs on the shakers pick up the theme.
