Salt and Pepper Shaker Set 925 Sterling Silver Niello | Astra Classic | 3 Pieces

Astra Classic 3-piece salt and pepper shaker set – Elegant table accessory

The Astra Classic salt and pepper shaker set, crafted from 925 sterling silver, combines three elegant pieces for stylish table settings: two pear-shaped shakers (30 ml each, 67 g) with fully gilded lids and encircling niello floral bands, plus an oval tray (157 × 92 mm, 102 g) with a fully gilded rim. The salt shaker lid features numerous small holes, while the pepper shaker lid has a few larger ones – perfectly designed for the different grind sizes. Both shakers are adorned with gilded rings at the base and rest elegantly on the specially sized tray. This set is for those who understand that even salt and pepper deserve a refined presentation – gift-wrapped for weddings, housewarmings, or as a thank-you present.

The Astra Classic salt and pepper shaker set can be personalized – an engraving on the shakers or the tray makes it a unique gift.

Three perfectly harmonizing pieces – one elegant ensemble

The Astra Classic salt and pepper shaker set consists of three parts that are perfectly matched:

Salt shaker (30 ml, 67 g): The pear-shaped salt shaker has a bulbous body and a fully gilded lid with numerous small holes – perfect for fine salt grains. The exterior has a matte finish and features a continuous niello floral band with fully gilded accent flowers, identical to the decoration on the caviar dish. A gilded ring runs along the base, lending the shaker stability and elegance. Measuring Ø 42.5 mm × H 55 mm, it is compact and easy to handle.

Pepper shaker (30 ml, 67 g): The pepper shaker is identical to the salt shaker, but has a lid with a few larger holes – perfect for coarser peppercorns. The shape, decoration, and size are identical, so both shakers form a harmonious pair. The encircling niello floral band with gilded accent flowers is positioned identically on both shakers.

Oval tray (157 × 92 mm, 102 g): This tray, specially designed for this set, has an elegant oval shape with organically curved rims. The rim is entirely high-gloss gold-plated and features a continuous niello floral band with gold-plated accent flowers. The matte center provides a stable presentation surface for both shakers. Measuring 157 mm long × 92 mm wide, the tray is perfectly sized – not too large, not too small – and the shakers sit elegantly on it without wobbling.

All three pieces feature the same niello decoration (a continuous floral band), the same gilded accents, and come from the same manufacturer – a harmonious ensemble that shows: These pieces belong together.

30 ml capacity – Perfect for everyday use

With a 30 ml capacity each, these shakers are perfectly sized for everyday use: 30 ml lasts for about 2-3 weeks of normal use, so you don't have to refill them daily, but you also won't have the same amount of salt for months on end. The pear-shaped design allows for comfortable gripping and dispensing – the bulbous body fits well in the hand, and the fully gold-plated lids are easy to unscrew for refilling. The different hole sizes (salt: many small ones, pepper: a few large ones) are perfectly matched to the different grain sizes.

Frequently asked questions about the Astra Classic salt and pepper shaker set

What is included in the set?

The Astra Classic 3-piece salt and pepper shaker set includes: a 30 ml salt shaker with a fully gilded lid (fewer small holes) and a niello floral band around the edge; a 30 ml pepper shaker with a fully gilded lid (fewer larger holes) and a niello floral band around the edge; and an oval tray (157 x 92 mm) with a fully gilded rim and a niello floral band around the edge. All three pieces are made of 925 sterling silver, hand-engraved, and produced by the SevChern manufactory. The set comes in a high-quality gift box.

Why do salt and pepper shakers have different holes?

Salt and pepper have different grain sizes, therefore they require different openings: The salt shaker has many small holes because salt grains are fine and should be sprinkled evenly. The pepper shaker has fewer, larger holes because peppercorns are coarser (especially freshly ground pepper) and don't need to be sprinkled as finely. This thoughtful distinction is typical of high-quality shakers and demonstrates that at the SevChern manufactory, functionality is just as important as design. The different hole sizes are perfectly matched to the grain sizes.

How big is the tray and will the shakers fit on it?

The oval tray measures 157 mm long x 92 mm wide and is specially designed for this shaker set. The two shakers (each 42.5 mm in diameter) sit elegantly side by side on the tray, spaced far enough apart for comfortable handling. The tray is neither too large (it doesn't take up too much space on the table) nor too small (the shakers don't wobble). The organically curved rim makes the tray a visual highlight. Weighing only 102 g, it's light enough to easily move the entire set around the table.

Can the set be personalized?

Yes, all three pieces of the set can be personalized. Upon request, we can engrave names, dates, initials, or a personal message on the shakers (frosted exterior between the niello floral band) or on the tray (frosted center or underside). The engraving is professional and permanent. This personalization makes the set a unique gift for weddings, housewarmings, or as a thank-you present – ​​for example, "Sarah & Tom · 2025" or "For the Wedding · With Love." An engraved salt and pepper shaker set is a gift that will be used and cherished every day. Simply contact us with your engraving request!

Can I buy individual spreaders separately?

Yes, the shakers are also available individually. You can expand the set later – for example, with additional shakers for other spices (paprika, chili powder, herbs) or as replacements if one gets lost. All shakers have the same niello floral trim and match perfectly. Many customers buy extra shakers to create a complete spice station on their dining table – more stylish than standard spice mills and a real eye-catcher at dinner parties.
