Wood Mouse Salt & Pepper Shakers by Quail Ceramics

Description

A pair of wood mouse salt and pepper shakers — small, big-eyed, big-eared, found anywhere there's a granary or a hedge, 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. H7 x W5 x D6 cm

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 wood mouse 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 wood mouse 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.
