Design Mom posted about chic salt and pepper shakers recently. Well having just shopped for a replacement set of our own not long ago, I thought I’d share the flip-side. See, I like my salt and pepper shakers to be shaped like little animals, or people, or to have science jokes, and so on. Maybe they’re not chic, but they’re fun! Of course I’m always drawn to shapely white ceramics too. Here are my top ten salt and pepper shakers…

November 17, 2009 at 12:12 amCute!! I love them all. You should check out the ones I found when I was out and about a couple weeks ago ( http://www.dreamindomestic.com/2009/10/26/incredible-weekend-finds/ ). They’re Scottish Terrier salt and pepper shakers, or I suppose you could say one is a Scottie and the other is a Westie. I had to buy them since I have a Scottie and love him to death. Let me know what you think!

November 17, 2009 at 2:04 amI have been obsessing over the hug shakers for years now. I saw them in person once and was disappointed that they were smaller than i imagined. Still cute nonetheless.

November 17, 2009 at 6:41 amCute idea with the top ten list! Salt and pepper shakers are fun! I bought a bunch of vintage ones from a flea market and stuck flowers out of them and then put them on my window sill. They looked so cute!

November 17, 2009 at 7:30 amThese are so much fun! I know people who collect vintage shakers and I’ve been known to pick up an interesting pair while thrifting, but these new styles are just awesome. #8 is my favorite. I’ve gifted them to a couple in the past.

November 17, 2009 at 10:43 amI have #8 (hug) which I love as well. But the salt holes are a little large on mine, and the salt comes out too fast :(

November 17, 2009 at 11:32 amOh man, I LOVE #3 and #10. My grandma has collected salt and pepper shakers for years and years. When she moved into the assisted living center, my mom got all of them. One of these days, I need to go through and find them.

November 18, 2009 at 2:50 pmHi Nicole,
I’ve been loving your blog for a while — and all that you do.
I’ve also been admiring Classic Century from Crate & Barrel. Luv the design. I was ready to buy but there are some negative reviews on C&B about the dishware chipping and cracking. Boo. :(
Anyone else have any experience with this product?
xo,
kristin jo

November 18, 2009 at 3:03 pmoh I see Granit at DWR is also designed by Eva Zeisel, that might be a better option for a lasting product

November 18, 2009 at 3:05 pmI actually bought the mustache one the other day! can’t wait for it to arrive. I did an entire mustache themed blog post too in honor of my purchase.

December 28, 2009 at 3:48 pmLovely little compilation! I actually purchased the HUg shakers at a booth in the Union Square Farmer’s Market for $10 after loving them forever. Great deal! I also really like the Adler ones, of course!
