Pfaltzgraff Empire Salt and Pepper Set

Complementing the clean lines of Empire dinnerware, which was introduced in 2003, this set of salt and pepper shakers adds a retro touch to the collection. The hourglass shape, contoured ridges, and matte charcoal gray finish make these shakers a delight to hold. A ring of matte black sets off the glossy white top. Salt lovers can fill the four-holed shaker with gourmet sea salt; the other shaker has three holes. Each shaker measures 3-1/4 by 2-1/2 inches and features a plastic plug on the bottom for easy refilling or cleaning. Dishwasher-safe, the stoneware set is backed by a three-year warranty. --Ann Bieri
