Effective salt and pepper shakers need only be containers of some description, molded with at least one perforation for the escape of the fine seasoning granules. This set of Salt & Pepper Pawz then demonstrates how much freedom a designer is afforded to incorporate extra value into such staple culinary items.
Ladies & Gentlemen opted to sculpt their dispensers into nimble feline feet. The pair were cast in stoneware to produce the paw of a white cat and the paw of a black one. Complete with soft-looking pads, sharp claws and a finely etched furry texture, the pieces embody an odd realism. Unable to stand securely upon their corked open ends, the Salt & Pepper Pawz are placed sole-upwards so that the punctured holes are visible.
