GG Collection Ceramic Salt/Pepper Shaker Acanthus Leaf Style Metal Caddy Dimensions: 5"w x 2.5"d x 7.75" The ceramic pieces are made of stoneware fired at extremely high temperatures to create harder, chip-resistant clay, which provides an even heat for baking. Glazes are combined with the stoneware to create a unique finish. The occasional pinhole and color variations are considered normal and natural to the ceramists and lend themselves to the handcrafted old-world look of The GG Collection. With age tiny lines called crazing may form in the glaze. This unique characteristic of stoneware does not affect its durability or safety. The bases and accents are cast aluminum with an applied finish. All GG items are handmade and slight imperfections can be expected. This set is in good to excellent preowned condition. No chips or cracks were found. Will be listing additional matching GG COLLECTIONS soon.
