I got these coffee grinder-shaped salt and pepper shakers several years ago at T-Ted Ceramics in Dunkirk, OH, for just a couple dollars. Although T-Ted sold mostly greenware and bisque (ceramics ready to bake or paint), this set was already finished when I bought it. I don’t know what it is about those types of coffee grinders, but I’m facinated by them. I wish I could have bought the ceramic mold, but they didn’t have it; that’s probably a good thing or I’d have 50 sets of coffee grinder salt and pepper shakers sitting around right now. It may be a little awkward to actually use this set due to their shape, but I really like them anyways. These have only been used as decoration so far; I’ll use them eventually, but I don’t want them to get broken. Someday I would love to get an actual coffee grinder like these, but for now, this will have to do.
