Description
This pair of salt and pepper shakers is made to look like two little tins of fish from an old-fashioned grocer's shelf. One is a bright red tin of mackerel, printed with two blue and white fish and the words 'in tomato & basil sauce' and 'skinless & boneless fillets'. The other is a soft pink tin of anchovies, marked 'finest quality' and 'in olive oil & lemon', with slim silver fish and slices of lemon between them. Each lid is pressed with a ring pull, so they pass for real tins at a glance, and small holes in the top let the seasoning through. Each shaker is 6.7cm tall and 5.2cm across, small enough to sit neatly beside a plate.
We like them on the kitchen table, the breakfast tray or a kitchen shelf, wherever salt and pepper get passed around. They bring a seaside note to a coastal kitchen and a wink of fun to a retro dining room, and the red and pink sit happily together without matching too neatly. Because they come as a pair, there is no hunting for the second shaker, and they make a cheerful small gift for anyone who would rather smile at the table than reach for a plain grinder.
The shakers are metal, printed all the way round, and each fills from the base, where a white silicone stopper pushes into a round opening to keep the contents in. They are hand wash only and not dishwasher safe, so wash them gently, dry them straight away and store them in a dry place between meals. Fill one with salt and one with pepper, set them side by side and let the two little tins do the talking at your next lunch.
