FAQs

Are these shakers dishwasher safe?

No, these shakers are made of fine china with a printed pattern and should not be put in a dishwasher, as this can damage the glaze and design.

How do I clean the salt and pepper shakers?

Hand wash them gently with a soft cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

What is the William Morris Strawberry Thief pattern?

It is a famous textile design created by William Morris in 1883, featuring thrushes stealing strawberries from a garden, known for its intricate detail and Victorian aesthetic.

Can I use these shakers for other seasonings?

While primarily designed for salt and pepper, they can be used for other fine-grained seasonings. Ensure the seasoning is dry and does not clump, and clean the shakers thoroughly between uses.

Are the stoppers removable for refilling?

Yes, the stoppers at the base are designed to be removed for easy refilling.

What material are the shakers made from?

They are crafted from quality fine china with a smooth glazed finish.

Are these shakers suitable for microwave use?

No, fine china is not suitable for microwave use.

Troubleshooting

Shakers are difficult to fill.

Ensure the base stoppers are fully removed before attempting to fill. If the opening seems small, use a funnel for easier filling.

Uneven dispensing of salt or pepper.

Check that the dispensing holes at the top are clear of any debris. Gently tap the shaker to ensure seasoning flows freely.

Pattern appears to be fading or dulling.

This may indicate improper cleaning. Switch to hand washing with mild soap and a soft cloth, avoiding abrasive materials. Ensure they are not exposed to harsh sunlight for prolonged periods.

Stoppers are loose or don't fit securely.

Inspect the stoppers for any damage or debris. If they are worn, consider a replacement stopper of a similar size, or use a small amount of food-safe sealant if a permanent fix is desired, though this is not recommended for regular use.
