Description
This pair of salt and pepper shakers takes the form of two round, puffed-up fish, each with a raised fin along the back, side fins, a fanned tail, bulging eyes and a small pouting mouth. One is painted with bold spots and the other with a pattern of scales, so you can tell them apart at a glance. They are made of 99% stoneware and 1% silicone, in cream with darker painted fins and markings. Each measures 9.5cm long, 9cm wide and 6.5cm tall, with a capacity of 35ml, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand and to tuck beside a plate.
We see them on the dining table, a breakfast tray or a kitchen shelf by the hob, wherever salt and pepper are reached for every day. The small holes pierced along each fish's back let the seasoning out with a shake, and at 0.09KG they are light and easy to pass along the table. Their cheerful, characterful look suits a family kitchen, a seaside cottage or a relaxed supper with friends, and they make a lovely present for someone setting up a first home or anyone who likes a little fun at mealtimes.
Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and each fish has a glazed surface with a soft sheen. They are not made for the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so clean them by hand and let them dry fully before you refill them. Stand the two fish nose to nose at the centre of the table, or turn them tail to tail so everyone remembers which one holds the salt.
