Bought these to replace a broken set. These are very pretty but too dainty for everyday kitchen use. I will say that the salt shaker makes for healthier cooking because the holes are very small. Not a lot of salt or pepper comes out.These are painted beautifully, nice and sturdy, and a lovely complement to my other Blue Rose Polish Pottery collection. Great line of products overall.These are beautiful, they are bigger then I pictured but I love them! I dislike that the shipping was $9.50 & it took 8 days to arriveI love my Blue Rose Polish Pottery. It looks so pretty and is a perfect addition to my tableThe S&P shakers I ordered are exquisite! And they came 5 days faster than anticipated. Complete with certificate of authenticity, a little tidbit about the pieces, and easy return/replacement FAQ. Thank you, Blue Rose pottery! I am absolutely in love with my shakers.have been collecting different Polish pottery for my wife over the last several years. Had never seen salt and pepper shakers in this style before, she loves them and they sit in the front middle of her display case.
