Alessi by Michael Graves Salt Shaker and Pepper Grinder

A modern kitchen classic from Alessi, this salt shaker and pepper grinder were designed in 1988 by Michael Graves. For this everyday dining design, Graves employed his Postmodernist visual language: the design combines influences from European and American Pop art, and pre-Columbian cultures. Made in Italy, the Michael Graves salt shaker and pepper grinder have cylindrical, perforated stainless steel containers that are coated in a gleaming-mirror polished finish, while the lid is made out of colored polyamide thermoplastic resin. I’ve owned these for years, purchased in Germany, and have replaced with different shakers. In great condition.
