Know before you buy
The set is designed so that salt dispenses from the alligator's head and pepper dispenses from the tail. This functional distinction makes it easy to identify which shaker contains which seasoning.
Hand wash the shakers with mild soap and warm water, then dry them immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the harsh detergents and high heat can damage the hand-finished pewter surface.
Yes, because they are crafted from solid cast pewter, they have a substantial weight that keeps them stable and prevents them from tipping over during use.
Each piece features a secure stopper on the underside, allowing you to easily remove it, refill the interior, and replace it for a tight seal.
Pewter is a durable metal that does not tarnish like silver, but it can develop a soft patina over many years. Regular dusting and occasional gentle polishing will keep the intricate details looking sharp.
