Amazon.com Review: The antique look of these salt and pepper shakers puts them right at home in a kitchen with exposed brick walls and racks of copper pots. Keep them handy on the stove where they'll season up stews and roasts with a good hearty shake. A grapevine motif is hand-embossed around the middle of each shaker by skilled artisans, adding to the old-fashioned quality. Each features a squared riveted handle and a plastic plug underneath; the only difference between the two is the number of holes in the domed top.
While copper cookware often comes with a lacquer that needs to be removed before use, the lacquer on the salt and pepper shakers does not require removal. Splatters from cooking can be cleaned off with a soft sponge and detergent; abrasive pads and cleansers will scratch the surface. Each shaker measures 4-1/4 inches tall and 2-3/4 inches in diameter, excluding the handle. Care of the copper salt and pepper shakers is easy: wash by hand in warm, sudsy water, wipe dry, and avoid harsh pads or cleansers that can scratch the finish. Because Old Dutch copperware is hand-crafted, slight variations from one piece to another are to be expected. --Ann Bieri

Rating: - I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE EXCHANGED THESE
One of the salt and pepper shakers doesn't sit completely flat. My husband got the plug to sink in enough that I kept them when I should have exchanged them. It will probably always be a problem. I do like the looks of them though.

This item goes great with the canisters, and I really like the appearance. Would recommend as a compliment to the canisters.
Rating: - nice design, poor workmanship
Very disappointing for a nicely designed, more unique salt & pepper shaker. Though it was well packed, the salt shaker top had a scratch in the lacquer coating. The holes in the shakers were only roughly punched and not cleanly machined to circles. The punches had sharp edges.
Rating: - These are very nice
I bought these to go with my kitchen makeover which includes copper. The ARE very dark, but I have some darker copper in my backsplash so it works out. As for quality, I think they are pretty good. I like the design on them as well.
Rating: - salt and pepper set
This set is substantial in size. They were easy to fill because the plastic plug partially screws, unlike others that require a lot of pulling and prying to remove the stoppers. The finish is easy to maintain.
