Know before you buy
These shakers feature a convenient bottom-fill design. You can easily remove the stopper at the base to refill them with your preferred salt and pepper.
Because these pieces are handmade and hand-painted faience, we recommend hand washing them gently to preserve the integrity of the paint and the artisanal finish.
No, each shaker is individually hand-painted by a single artist. While they are designed as a matching set, you should expect slight variations in the brushwork and details that make each piece truly one-of-a-kind.
Every set includes the artist's signature and the official Henriot Quimper mark. These markings serve as a guarantee of their authenticity and origin from the historic French factory.
These shakers are crafted from faience, a traditional type of fine tin-glazed earthenware or porcelain, which is characteristic of the historic pottery traditions in Quimper, France.
