Glass Salt and Pepper Pots
I have to confess to a personal liking for glass salt and pepper pots. I particularly like the glass salt and pepper pots that include a grinder as it feels more special and higher quality to add our condiments this way. The look of the peppercorns and salt crystals inside glass salt and pepper pots goes so well with contemporary furnishing and a minimalist table layout.
There are other types of glass salt and pepper pots. We all remember the most basic glass salt and pepper pots which were a classic style in all sorts of restaurants, from the most simple café to the most high class. Glass salt and pepper pots with a screw on silver or stainless steel top are still traditional designs and can be made attractive with a few tweaks of creativity by the manufacturers.
Are you too posh to shake or grind your condiments? Good manners used to mean scooping our salt into a little mound on the side of the plate and dipping our food into it, and there are still glass salt and pepper pots available that are actually small bowls to be used in this way with tiny condiment spoons.
Along with clear glass salt and pepper pots you can find crystal and cut glass salt and pepper pots. For these glass salt and pepper pots it’s a good idea to choose a set that comes with its own small metal holder. These are usual open metalwork holders with a handle to carry the glass salt and pepper pots, and it also helps to keep them clean.
Crystal glass salt and pepper pots can be found at the top end of the range with silver screw-on tops and an attractive metal holder, and these would make a good gift if solid silver items are out of your price range. Just a little bit of silver on these glass salt and pepper pots would make this suitable as a silver wedding gift for people you aren’t close enough to for a more expensive offering.
Choose strong glass salt and pepper pots as these won’t break easily when they take the rough and tumble of your everyday table. Glass salt and pepper pots can be extremely classy, but some are in more everyday styles. Chunky glass salt and pepper pots with screw-on wooden tops are ideal on a country-style cottage kitchen table. Some glass salt and pepper pots have plastic tops and a large, easy-to-hold design for all the family. If there are children you might consider plastic cruet sets that look like glass salt and pepper pots, and these come in all styles including the grinding variety.
