Chirpy Clay Artisan Salt & Pepper Shaker
These unique handmade salt and pepper shakers feature an adorable bird-like shape with expressive eyes and a pointed beak. Crafted with traditional pottery techniques, they are painted with white, blue, and red engobes, meticulously burnished for a smooth sheen, biscuit-fired, and finished in a smoke kiln for a rich, rustic patina.
Key Features
Artisanal engobe painting: Decorated with natural white, blue, and red clay slips. An engobe is a colored liquid clay slip applied to the unfired pottery. This creates deep, earthy colors that bond permanently with the clay rather than sitting on top of it like standard paint.
Burnished finish: Polished by hand before firing for a smooth, subtle gloss.
Smoke-fired patina: Pit-smoked to create organic, dark tones and unique carbon marks.
Cork stopper seal: Hand-fitted corks at the base keep your spices secure.
Whimsical design: Shaped like charming little birds with distinct personalities.
Why You Will Love It
Bring a playful, artistic touch to your dining table or kitchen counter.
Enjoy one-of-a-kind art, as the smoke-firing process makes every bird unique.
Dispense salt and pepper easily through the precise, built-in top holes.
Note: Each shaker is sold separately.
