The Good Earthenware: Pig Salt and Pepper Shakers
November 19th, 2009Why do we find things that are shaped like pigs so amusing? Is it just us? (Judging by how many Pig Bakers we’ve sold, we think not.) We snatched up our other
Pomaireware Pig Bakers because we thought they were beyond adorable, but we fell in love with them because they were so useful!
We feel the same about this adorable Pig Salt & Pepper Shaker Set! They give an incredibly earthy and homey feel to a modern table. Each shaker is handcrafted by local artisans in Chile and, trust us, will be truly appreciated no matter where they finally rest their feet!
More about Pomaireware:
Since the middle of the 19th century, Pomaire, Chile has been producing distinctive earthenware that is both functional and decorative, such as clay pots, clay casseroles. Some have features such as pigs, frogs and fish. The artisans have preserved the tradition of working with clay using the same techniques that have been handed down from generation to generation.
Each piece is dried naturally, then smoothed and burnished with an agate stone before being fired. No glaze or varnish is used. And as such, it has its own defects and discolorations that in no way affect the performance of each piece. That is why throughout Chile it is difficult to dine without something in a Pomaireware clay bowl or pot.
