Lenox Spring Vista Salt Shaker

A timeless Lenox design, Spring VistaÖ dinnerware is elegant and spirited, rich and colorful. Gracing your table, this collection is a breath of fresh air - every day of the year. The ivory fine china is decorated with antique flowers and accented with a rim of gold.

Spring Vista sets a traditional table with an old-fashioned floral design. Lenox trims this classic pattern with 24-karat gold to impart a more luxurious look, although the ivory fine china is durable enough for everyday use. Accessorizes a full range of Spring Vista Gold dinnerware, this salt shaker takes on a footed shape whose curves and subtle fluting feel delightful in the hand. Around the top under the gold trim lies a mustard-yellow band with delicate detailing, a sage green infill that narrows and widens, and sprays of antique-pink, mustard-yellow, and pale blue flowers.

In actuality, the 3-3/4-by-2-inch shaker can contain either salt or pepper. The seven holes in the top are a little too small for large salt crystals, so fans of coarse sea salt should take note. A plastic plug in the bottom removes for filling. While Lenox gold-trimmed dinnerware is not microwave-safe, it can be cleaned in a dishwasher, preferably with a mild detergent and low heat setting. The clean pieces should be allowed to cool before handling, as gold softens with heat. Lenox backs its products with a lifetime warranty, and will replace any unsatisfactory item or provide the customer a full refund. In addition, under its lifetime breakage replacement program, Lenox will replace any broken piece that is in stock at 50 percent off the current suggested retail price. --Ann Bieri
