Handcrafted 'Potato Masher' Salt and Pepper Grinders – 300mm Tall

Now for something completely different. These unique salt and pepper grinders are bound to be the ultimate talking point at any dinner table.

Hand-turned from local oak and ash, the design is a cheeky nod to the classic German Stielhandgranate (the famous "potato masher" grenade) from the world wars. The idea here? Let's make food, not war. Beyond the brilliant design, they are genuinely beautiful to use. The pale, smooth ash handles feel incredibly ergonomic in the hand, while the substantial oak bases give them a lovely, grounded weight. At 300mm tall and about 70mm wide at the base, they make a stunning, dramatic statement standing on your kitchen counter or dining table.

The Details

• Dimensions: 300mm height x approx. 70mm base width

• The Wood: A striking contrast of local timber—deep, characterful oak for the main grinding base and top cap, paired with pale, cleanly grained ash for the long handle.

• The Mechanism: High-quality, durable grinders designed to last. You can easily adjust the coarseness of your salt or pepper just by rotating the top oak section.

• The Finish: Fine-sanded to a silky, tactile finish and sealed with a durable, food-safe oil to protect the wood from kitchen splashes.
  
  

Good to Know

These are sold as a pair and are a breeze to refill. To keep them looking sharp, just give them a quick wipe with a damp cloth if they get dusty or covered in flour—definitely don't submerge them in water or pop them in the dishwasher.

If you're looking for a completely unique housewarming gift, a wedding present for a history buff, or you just want something for your own home that nobody else has, these are it.
