Description
This pair of tin salt and pepper shakers takes its look from old-fashioned food cans, with ribbed sides, a printed label and a silver top made to resemble a ring-pull lid. Each one carries a bright yellow leopard with black spots, mid-stride, beneath the word Leopard. The salt shaker is sky blue with red lettering and the word Salt along the bottom, while the pepper shaker is a warm red with yellow lettering and the word Pepper, so there is never any doubt which one you are reaching for. Each shaker stands 6.7cm tall and 5.2cm across, a compact size that sits easily in the hand.
We think they bring a cheerful pop of colour to the kitchen table, the breakfast bar or a dining table laid for friends. Their small footprint means they tuck neatly beside the kettle or on a narrow shelf, and they are just as at home in a bright, eclectic kitchen as they are livening up a plain white worktop. The printed lettering gives them a playful, retro feel, a little nod to vintage grocery packaging, and the pair look good left out on the side between meals rather than hidden away in a cupboard.
The shakers are made from metal, with a silicone stopper in the base of each. To refill, ease the stopper out, pour the salt or pepper through the opening and press the stopper back in. The tops are pierced with small holes for an even sprinkle. Hand wash only, as they are not dishwasher safe; wipe them with a damp cloth, dry them thoroughly and store them in a dry place to keep the tins at their best. Set them side by side on the table, or wrap the pair as a bright little gift for anyone who enjoys a cheerful kitchen.
