Old Dutch International 4¼ Inch Antique Embossed Stovetop Salt & Pepper Set

Amazon.com Review

The antique look of these salt and pepper shakers puts them right at home in a kitchen with exposed brick walls and racks of copper pots. Keep them handy on the stove where they'll season up stews and roasts with a good hearty shake. A grapevine motif is hand-embossed around the middle of each shaker by skilled artisans, adding to the old-fashioned quality. Each features a squared riveted handle and a plastic plug underneath; the only difference between the two is the number of holes in the domed top.

While copper cookware often comes with a lacquer that needs to be removed before use, the lacquer on the salt and pepper shakers does not require removal. Splatters from cooking can be cleaned off with a soft sponge and detergent; abrasive pads and cleansers will scratch the surface. Each shaker measures 4-1/4 inches tall and 2-3/4 inches in diameter, excluding the handle. Care of the copper salt and pepper shakers is easy: wash by hand in warm, sudsy water, wipe dry, and avoid harsh pads or cleansers that can scratch the finish. Because Old Dutch copperware is hand-crafted, slight variations from one piece to another are to be expected. --Ann Bieri

I returned these salt and pepper shakers as they were MUCH darker than pictured on-line and on the product box. They were closer to a dark chocolate brown.

This set is substantial in size. They were easy to fill because the plastic plug partially screws, unlike others that require a lot of pulling and prying to remove the stoppers. The finish is easy to maintain.

Very disappointing for a nicely designed, more unique salt & pepper shaker. Though it was well packed, the salt shaker top had a scratch in the lacquer coating. The holes in the shakers were only roughly punched and not cleanly machined to circles. The punches had sharp edges.
