Vintage DANSK Hourglass Salt & Pepper Mill Mid Century by Jens Quistgaard

Stylish wooden spice grinder by Dansk. Adds a rustic touch to your kitchen. A carved solid teak salt and pepper mill designed by Jens Quistgaard for Dansk. This curved hourglass peppermill is one of the most ergonomic of Quistgaard’s circa 60 piece collection. The mill's two main elements are reminiscent of traditional lathed objects such as doorknobs or finials, but the stacking and flaring of these shapes creates a curvaceous form that's unmistakingly grounded in modernism. The top section, as with most of Quistgaard's mills, holds salt, where the large button-like stopper is secured by a cork. Peppercorns are stored and grinded in the lower half. The object not only functions fantastically, but it is also a very sculptural piece. Satisfying both these criteria was crucial for Quistgaard..
