Beech salt & pepper shakers: fly agaric & bay bolete

The snack platter is on the table and the bread is sliced. Right in the middle stands a mushroom salt and pepper shaker. It looks as if it has just wandered in from the forest onto your table. Choose the fly agaric for salt or the bay bolete for pepper. The little beech wood shaker doesn't just season your food. It decorates the table too. It's made for your breakfast table and brings a piece of nature to every meal.

What changes for you

• Your table needs no extra decoration. Between meals, the mushroom salt shaker simply stays on the table, shelf or windowsill as a decorative mushroom.
• You can start right away. The shaker is oiled/varnished with a food-safe finish and ready to use.
• You can refill salt or pepper quickly. The push-fit cap comes off easily and then sits firmly and securely again.
• You can choose what to fill it with. Besides salt and pepper, paprika, chilli, sea salt or garlic powder fit inside too.
• You're holding a one-off. Thanks to the natural grain of the beech wood, no two mushrooms are alike.

Why this mushroom salt shaker makes a difference every day

A wooden mushroom salt shaker turns seasoning into a small gesture that suits a laid table. Instead of an ordinary shaker, you have a warm natural material. It feels pleasant in the hand and fits quietly into any setting. That goes for a country kitchen as well as a modern dining table. And when no one is eating, it simply stays where it is and looks good.

Material & finish

The shaker is made of local beech wood and oiled/varnished with a food-safe finish. So you can fill it with salt, pepper and other spices. Careful finishing makes sure the cap sits reliably and the mushroom stands steadily. Wood is a purely natural material. Differences in shade, small knots or fine irregularities in the grain are normal and not a flaw. They are exactly what make each piece one of a kind.

Good to know about the fly agaric

In Germany, the fly agaric has long been seen as a symbol of good luck. A lucky person is even called a “Glückspilz”, a lucky mushroom. That's why the shaker also makes a lovely small gift for a housewarming or New Year's Eve. Or simply as a good luck charm for the kitchen.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Just wipe the shaker with a dry or slightly damp cloth when needed. Avoid the dishwasher and longer contact with water. This keeps the oiled beech wood looking good and holding its shape for a long time.
