Mikasa Italian Countryside White Stoneware Salt and Pepper Set

The ultimate in versatility and classic appeal, a white-on-white design allows you to transition gracefully from casual to more formal occasions. A simple change of glassware, linens or the addition of colorful accent pieces creates an entirely different look with a minimum of expense and fuss. This pattern features a fluted band and a scrolling border, at home just about anywhere.

Italian style has an earthy, homey quality that makes it perfect for the kitchen and the table. Mikasa captures this quality in their Italian Countryside stoneware. These paired salt and pepper shakers, embossed with a classical pattern of vertical lines, are at once simple and elegant. Standing 4-3/8 inches tall, they resemble small white Etruscan vases or Roman ornaments but radiate a Mediterranean ease that makes them quite at home on tables of any style. They are easy to refill through rubber-stoppered holes in the bottom and are dishwasher-safe. Made of durable stoneware, they will add long-lasting warmth and comfort to your table. Founded in 1948, Mikasa--an American company headquartered in New Jersey--is a leading designer, developer, and marketer of quality tabletop products. --Christopher Monte Smith
