Tawny Owl Salt & Pepper Shakers by Quail Ceramics

Description

A pair of tawny owl salt and pepper shakers — the woodland owl behind the call you hear at dusk, one for each. They sit side by side on the table and look like they're keeping each other company.

Salt in one, pepper in the other; sold as a pair.

Dimensions: Approx. 8.5 cm tall

Why it's here: Quail Ceramics has been part of our co-owner Tom's life from the very beginning — they're designed in Stoke-on-Trent, the English pottery town where he grew up. Every piece is hand-painted, and none of them are made just to look at: they're all built around a job — a salt shaker, a jug, a pencil pot, a vase, an egg cup. Quail is our favorite easy way to bring a little rural whimsy into a room. A pair of tawny owl shakers on the dinner table — that small pop of personality on an otherwise ordinary surface is exactly the point.

What you're getting: One pair of hand-painted tawny owl salt and pepper shakers — one salt, one pepper.

Care: Hand-painted stoneware. Dishwasher safe; we'd still recommend the top rack and a gentle cycle for the long-term life of the painted detail. Not suitable for microwave or oven use.
