Glass Salt And Pepper Shaker Sets

Salt and pepper shaker sets are a basic addition to any home tableware collection. Glass salt and pepper shakers are especially beautiful because they will enhance your table while serving a practical purpose. Salt and pepper shaker sets can stand separately or together in a condiment cruet. Since individual preferences for salt and pepper can vary, it is traditional to have both available on any dining room table (larger tables may require two or three sets for easier access).

Although salt and pepper shaker sets can vary in materials (plastic, metal, ceramic, etc.) most are designed with a metal screw top with holes. Many times the salt and pepper are only distinguished by the number of holes in the top or if the container is transparent, by the color of the seasoning inside. Over the years collecting unique or novelty salt and pepper shaker sets has become a popular hobby.

A glass salt and pepper shaker set is a great opportunity to add color to your table. Popular colors include Ruby Red, Cobalt, Jadeite, Vaseline, Pink, Emerald Green, Black, Clear, Amethyst and Milk Glass. Sets do not necessarily need to match the other tableware and choosing a contrasting color can make them easier to locate on a crowded table. Although many restaurants choose a simple panel design, salt and pepper shakers come in several classic glass designs ranging from the inverted thistle to beautiful retro patterns.

LookInTheAttic & Company offers a wide selection of beautiful salt and pepper shaker sets in a variety of colors. Building a fine tableware collection is a fun task and with proper care, many of the pieces should last for years to come. Glass offers the benefits of not warping over time and the color will not fade. Remember that glass is sensitive to extreme temperature changes however and should be stored carefully when not in use to avoid breaks.
