Know before you buy
This piece is constructed from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel paired with a durable polymer finish, ensuring both longevity and a sleek aesthetic.
The shaker stands at 4.45 inches tall with a diameter of 2.48 inches. Its ergonomic design by Michael Graves is specifically shaped to provide a secure, comfortable grip during everyday use.
The matte-style polymer finish is generally resistant to fingerprints, though like any dark kitchen accessory, it may require an occasional wipe with a soft cloth to maintain its pristine appearance.
This product is sold as an individual salt shaker. If you are looking for a matching set, you would need to purchase a second unit separately.
The shaker features a functional design that allows for easy access to the internal compartment, making it simple to refill with your preferred salt or seasoning.
