As a note, please follow these instructions for the correct ways to use these salts and peppers.

It’s always recommended that you never store salt or pepper in a silver shaker. Salt is corrosive and will pit the salt rather quickly; pepper won’t have this effect. However, we find it best to treat both of them in the same manner. If you are going to use them for a lunch or dinner, it is always best to fill the pieces on the day of the occasion. After the meal is done and you begin to clean up, the shakers must be emptied and cleaned out. It is important to do this as you can prevent the ruination of salt and pepper pieces of silver.
