Description
This glazed ceramic salt and pepper set pairs a little hedgehog with a plump pumpkin, both finished in soft white. The hedgehog sits upright with its front paws raised and a small black nose, its textured spines picked out in gentle brown streaks. Beside it, the pumpkin has deep rounded ribs, a fine speckle across its white glaze and a darker brown stalk on top. Each piece has small holes on top for shaking, so one holds salt and the other pepper, whichever way round you prefer. The set measures 8cm high, 6cm wide and 6cm deep, so it sits neatly beside a plate without crowding the table.
We think it belongs wherever salt and pepper live day to day: on the kitchen table, beside the hob or on a breakfast tray. Plain white sits easily beside most plates and bowls, and the warm brown of the hedgehog's spines adds a little colour without clashing. It suits a country kitchen, a dining room dresser or a small open shelf, and the two characters look just as at home left out between meals as they do at a laid table. Being small, they are easy to pass along the table from hand to hand.
Both pieces are made from ceramic with a glazed finish, which gives the white a soft sheen over the moulded detail of the spines and the pumpkin's ribs. To keep them looking their best, wipe them with a damp cloth and let them dry fully before refilling, as salt and moisture do not mix well. Like any ceramic, they can chip if knocked, so keep them back from the edge of the worktop. Set them out together at the centre of the table for a relaxed supper, or wrap them with a small jar of sea salt for a gift that feels thoughtful without any fuss.
