Salt and pepper pots come in all shapes and sizes from classic to novelty designs, some for the kitchen and some for table use.
Pots and shakers are usually the manual type as 
opposed to the electronic grinders and mills that are so popular today.
However, the novelty and retro designs are also becoming popular and may often be found in enthusiasts collections.
Of course the novelty value of salt and pepper pots where children are concerned can be very helpful in getting them to the table and to eat their food at mealtimes as cruet sets can be found in favourite children’s characters too. 
They are made from a wide variety of materials – from steel to plastic and from silver to acrylic. Many of the old fashioned salt and pepper shakers are made out of ceramic material and will last a life time.
Also, they can be very inexpensive to collect as their value is often in their design rather than 
expensive materials.
Let’s not forget the more traditional pots and shakers in stylish retro designs too.
Whatever design or colour you choose, salt and pepper pots make a practical and novelty contribution to meal times.
Some people collect their pots by themes such as farmyard animals or cats and dogs and phone boxes or post boxes – the list gos on and on.
Why not start a collection of your own!
