Easily introduced to any entertaining set, this pepper grinder is crafted in wood with an opaque black finish and silver-plated brass. With a tempered steel grinder, this piece is only suitable for dry and hard pepper granules less than 5 mm in diameter. Pink granules may be used only in a mixture up to 15 percent. Colors may vary slightly between items. The finish is not an opaque Pantone-based coating, but a special staining process that preserves the visible grain of the selected beech wood. As wood is a natural material, its tone can differ, resulting in slight variations in the final color. Each piece is made to order and uniformity is maintained as much as possible, but minor differences may occur.
