Old Dutch International 4¼ Inch Solid Copper Stovetop Salt & Pepper Set

I just wanted simple stovetop shakers to replace the broken glass ones I had. I came upon these while browsing quite by accident. I liked the look of shiny copper so I chose these. The pics here and on other sites do not do it justice. When I saw them up close in real life, they looked high quality. They sure do add a touch of elegance to the kitchen. I've had no trouble so far with the bottom plastic plugs falling out as other reviewers have pointed out. In fact, it's an effort for me removing these plugs for refilling. And the holes for the pepper shaker seem big enough to allow an adequate flow without having to forcibly shake it out. I also like the fact that they have some kind of coating that eliminates any tarnish build-up. No regrets here and I highly recommend them.

We were pleased with the size and weight of the salt and pepper set as we use it for cooking. If you like to fill your shakers full, these will hold a LOT of product. The finish is exactly as we expected from the pictures, and this item paired well with a copper tools vessel we ordered at the same time. The salt & pepper shakers look good and work well - great combination of form and function.

A beautiful addition to any kitchen; these are much prettier than the photo here; they're lacquered to prevent tarnishing and are nicely weighted (not too heavy, not too light).

The brass "S" and "P" are neatly riveted onto the shakers & are a nice color accent ("gold" in color). My only complaint: I wish the pepper shaker's holes were just a little larger--it takes some enthusiastic shaking to get an adequate amount of pepper onto food. Will fix that soon by enlarging the holes myself, but wish this had been done at the factory. If it weren't for that flaw, I'd give this 5 stars; worth the $.
