Know before you buy
These shakers feature a convenient bottom-fill design. Simply remove the stopper at the base of each shaker to add your salt or pepper.
The set is designed with two distinct shapes for easy identification: the salt shaker is square, while the pepper shaker is round.
No, these shakers are crafted from opaque beechwood, so the contents are not visible from the outside.
The shakers are constructed from durable beechwood, chosen for its strength and smooth finish.
Because they are made of natural wood, they should not be placed in the dishwasher. We recommend wiping them clean with a damp cloth and drying them immediately.
