Dansk Christianshavn Blue Salt and Pepper Shakers

If your dish pattern is either blue Dansk Bistro or Concerto, these salt and pepper shakers are the only ones made that go with those patterns. I wanted them for that reason, and I didn't want to pay very much for them. Amazon is currently running these on the "4 for 3" promotion whereby if you buy four items on a designated list, the lowest priced item will be free. By averaging what I spent on four items, these cost me $11.50, which is about right. The first pair came broken, and for the first time in seven years, I had to return an item to Amazon. The process was stunningly simple and fast. I had my second, perfect pair in less than a week. The reason that these don't get five stars with me is that I don't like pepper shakers with just one hole.

This was our pattern for our everyday china when we got married. While these salt and pepper shakers look beautiful on the table with all the other pieces, when it comes time to actually salt or pepper your meal, you need to be patient. It will take FOREVER to get enough salt on your dish, as you'll be shaking for a while. My husband wishes he could drill another hole or two on the top. Maybe it's an attempt to get us Americans to use less salt in our food....these are pretty to look at, just not so easy to use.

I ordered the Dansk Salt Shaker. It was just what I wanted. The arrival date was the exact date that it arrived at my house. I am very pleased with the whole transaction.
