Salt & pepper shakers

Salt and pepper shakers made of 925 silver — table culture that lasts

Salt and pepper belong on every set table. What gets them there makes all the difference. This collection comprises four salt and pepper shakers crafted from 925 sterling silver —some as a set, some individually, some adorned with niello ornamentation . Compact shakers that work on any table: for a romantic dinner for two, a feast with guests, or as a decorative element on a sideboard.

Why silver instead of ceramic or stainless steel?

Most salt and pepper shakers in German households are made of porcelain, glass, or stainless steel. They do their job. A shaker made of 925 sterling silver offers three advantages:

• Durability: Silver is corrosion-resistant and withstands decades of daily use. No chipping like ceramic, no fading like coated shakers.
• Value retention: Sterling silver is a precious metal. Its material value remains – independent of fashions and trends.
• Aesthetics: Polished silver on white linen creates an accent that stands out without being obtrusive.

Care

Silver shakers require little attention:

• Cleaning: Rinse with warm water and mild dish soap. Do not use a dishwasher.
• Polishing: A soft silver polishing cloth is sufficient. Niello ornaments retain their contrast permanently.
• Avoid contact with chlorine, vinegar, or aggressive cleaners.
• Tip: Do not store salt permanently in the silver shaker — prolonged contact can cause stains. Empty and wipe dry before storing.
