This beautiful, one of a kind set of American Scholar tree salt and pepper shakers was hand turned by Jim Fazio. These shakers are not only beautiful, but the shape fits nicely in your hand. It is easy to care for your salt and pepper shakers. Wash in warm, soapy water and thoroughly rinse. Never soak or wash your wood shakers in a dish washer. Prop up and air dry. After drying, to restore the shine rub with paste wax. Regular applications will preserve their rich colors for many years. Maryland residents pay a 6.00% sales tax.
