Vintage Araven Condiments Cruet Set in Green Plastic

Jon Nix — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 20:37:12 +0000

A glass and plastic cruet set in a light green colour, which is comprised of two salt and pepper pots and two bottles for oil and vinegar, which sit in a "caddy" style stand with handle. Made by "Araven" of Zaragoza, Spain, it probably dates from the 1980s. In good condition, with some minor signs of age and wear.

For reference, the stand measures 19cm (7½ in.) in height, with the stand approximately 13.5cm (5¼ in.) square, and the two larger bottles are approximately 15cm tall (6 in.) with a diameter of 5cm (2 in.).

Vintage Belgian Multi-Lingual Dark Green and Opaline Glass Condiment Set

Jon Nix — Sun, 02 Oct 2022 20:17:11 +0000

A very attractive little condiment set of salt, pepper and mustard pots, with a couple of unusual features. First, is the opaline / milk glass bottle bodies which form a high-contrast pairing with the dark green plastic screw tops. Second, is the labelling of the bottles which is not just in one or two languages, but rather in four - there are English, French, German and Dutch labels on each of these! Accompanying this multi-lingual wording is a banded floral design in dark green with plenty of scrolls and flourishes to complete the unusual look.

The salt and pepper pots are approximately 11cm (4¼ in.) in height with a base diameter of 4.5cm (1¾ in.), whilst the mustard pot is slightly taller at 11.5cm (4½ in.) with a base diameter of 7.5cm (3 in.). All three are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks and very little signs of wear and age. The pepper dispenser has some slight discoloration to the plastic from past use.

Vintage Denby Pottery and Teak Salt and Pepper Pots Set – Danish Design

Jon Nix — Sat, 24 Sep 2022 21:05:33 +0000

A pair of vintage and extremely uncommon Denby salt and pepper pots, combining Denby's stoneware expertise with the Danish design of Kurt Franzen of Digsmed to give these teak-bodied condiments a mid-century flavour. The fixed pottery tops - we think these were designed as part of the "Romany" range or at least would be a good match for it - have a grey-brown speckled gradient and are perforated with an "S" and a "P" in the top. The rounded teak bodies have a plastic stopper in the base for re-filling.

Measuring approximately 10cm (4 in.) in height, and with a maximum diameter of approximately 6.5cm (2½ in.), they are in very good used condition - the salt pot has a firing defect which has been glazed. They individually weigh approximately 220g.

Large Modernist Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Pots by WMF Germany

A pair of - frankly - oversized salt and pepper pots made by WMF (the artist formerly known as "Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik") of Germany. They are beautifully sculpted from stainless steel with a form which resembles something like a brutalist hourglass, and they are indeed large (almost 8cm / 3in. in height and 6.5 / 2½ in. in diameter). They're a bold statement.

There's not much more to be said - you'll probably either love them or hate them. They are in good condition with the odd surface scratch, and a screw stopper base to allow for re-filling. And just in case you are wondering, the two pots are indeed different from one another in terms of which is salt and which is pepper. The former has larger holes from which it dispenses...

Tall Hornsea “Saffron” Salt and Pepper Pots

Jon Nix — Mon, 06 Nov 2017 00:07:59 +0000

If you remember the 1970s then you'll remember these iconic pieces of pottery from Hornsea, their classic "Saffron" design. These tall condiment pots (salt and pepper) shouldn't be confused with their albeit lovely, smaller version: these beauties measure in at a whopping 10.5 cm (4 in) high.

Both are in good condition. The seals are very tight and there is only a minor "ding" to one base (not visible except from underneath) - and the teak tops are in good shape too, restored to a natural wood effect with a food-safe finish rather than a dark stain. We think they're handsome... in a very 1970s way.
