Salt & Pepper Shaker Views
Salt and pepper shakers can be made from a variety of substances, including plastic, glass, metal, and ceramic.[2] Except in the most casual dining establishments, they are usually provided as a matched set, sometimes distinguishable only by the number of holes on the top of the shaker. Designs range from small, plain glass screw-top containers (invented by John Landis Mason, inventor of the Mason jar) to more ornate works of art. Sometimes the design refers to some pair of related objects, such as a replica of a West Highland White Terrier containing the salt and a Scottish Terrier containing the pepper. Designs may also relate to specific occasions, such as holidays.
THESE PERSONALIZED SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS WERE EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR AS A FAVOR FOR OUR GUESTS AT OUR ENGAGEMENT PARTY. THEY ARE SIMPLE, BUT CUTE AND PRACTICAL WITHOUT BEING CHEESY. THEY ARE SOMETHING THAT WILL ALLOW PEOPLE TO REMEMBER US AS A COUPLE THAT THEY CAN ALSO ACTUALLY USE ON A DAILY BASIS. I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN HAPPIER WITH THIS PRODUCT. [...]
These favors were a big hit at my sister's bridal shower. I am using them in my kitchen and I love that they are practical and give me a good memory at the same time. I would open your box as soon as it arrives. Half of my salt and pepper shakers were broken or dirty. It was easy to have them ship additional ones to replace the broken ones but the timing was stressful. It would have been horrible if I couldn't use them at the shower.
The tiny square glass shakers are often seen at upscale restaurants in which décor is much more important than a casual eatery. A restaurant with many wood fixtures or furnishings might decide to go with wooden salt and pepper shakers or mills for a matching effect. For humid environments, there are even moisture proof salt and pepper shakers with hinged covers to seal out moisture and other contaminants.
