Description
This set of three is made from stoneware: two lemon-shaped shakers for salt and pepper, and the leaf-shaped tray they sit on. The shakers are yellow, with a dimpled surface that copies the skin of a real lemon and a small leaf on the side of each. The tray takes the form of a single leaf, its veins marked out from a central rib and a short stem at one end to lift it by. Together they measure 25.5cm long, 11cm wide and 8.5cm tall, compact enough to sit beside a plate without crowding it. The maker gives the capacity as 100ml.
Fill one shaker with salt and the other with pepper and bring them to the table for breakfast, lunch and supper, or keep them on the worktop for seasoning as you cook. The tray gathers both shakers in one place, so they move from kitchen to table together, and it catches the stray grains that would otherwise scatter across a tablecloth. The set suits a kitchen or dining room that welcomes a bit of colour, a sunny brunch table, or an everyday spot by the bread board. It also makes a cheerful housewarming or wedding present for anyone who loves to cook and entertain.
Stoneware is fired at a high temperature into a dense, hard-wearing body, and the whole set weighs 0.5KG. Part of the set is decorated by hand, so expect small variations from one set to the next. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so wash the pieces by hand and dry them thoroughly before refilling, since damp is what makes salt clump. For styling, place the tray at the centre of the table between the serving dishes, or leave it out on an open kitchen shelf, where the yellow lemons add a bright note between meals.

Frequently Asked
What comes in the set?
You receive three stoneware pieces: two lemon-shaped shakers for salt and pepper, and a leaf-shaped tray that holds them both side by side.

No. The maker says the set does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so wash each piece by hand and dry it well before refilling.
How big is the set?
With the shakers sitting on the tray, the set measures 25.5cm long, 11cm wide and 8.5cm tall, and the whole set weighs 0.5KG.
What are the shakers made from?
All three pieces are 100% stoneware, and part of the set is decorated by hand, so small variations from one set to another are normal.
What is the capacity?
The maker gives the capacity as 100ml, a sensible amount for the salt and pepper you reach for every day at the table.
