Know before you buy
These shakers are crafted from high-quality pottery, likely porcelain, which is characteristic of Michael Pratt’s studio work. They feature a unique, handcrafted glaze that provides the distinct color palette and vintage aesthetic.
Like most traditional studio pottery, these shakers typically feature a removable stopper at the base. You simply remove the plug to refill the contents and replace it securely to keep the salt or pepper contained.
Because these are vintage, handcrafted studio pieces, we recommend hand washing them with mild soap. Harsh detergents and the high heat of a dishwasher can compromise the integrity of the glaze and the pottery over time.
Michael Pratt’s designs are known for their pleasing, balanced proportions. They are sized to be comfortable in the hand while providing enough weight to feel substantial on the table without being overly bulky.
Yes. As these are handcrafted studio pottery pieces, slight variations in color, texture, and shape are expected and part of their charm. Each shaker is an individual work of art rather than a mass-produced item.
