Know before you buy
No, these shakers are not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the glaze, we recommend hand washing them with a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
Each shaker stands 3 inches tall with a 2-inch diameter. They are a smaller, more compact iteration of the classic Heath Ceramics design, making them ideal for tabletop use.
The opening diameter of each shaker is 0.5 inches. You may want to use a small funnel to ensure a clean, spill-free refill process.
Because these pieces are handcrafted in the Heath Clay Studio, each shaker will have slight variations in the glaze application. This artisanal process results in unique, glossy gradients that make every set one-of-a-kind.
This product is covered by a 12-month warranty. This covers defects related to the craftsmanship of the ceramic pieces.
