• Wedding or housewarming
• Designed by Yair Emanuel

Intro

Bring color to your table with a pair of hand painted salt and pepper shakers, each one decorated with birds perched among flowering branches. The Oriental design layers deep blues with bursts of pink, orange, and gold across the curved wood form. Designed by Jerusalem artist Yair Emanuel, whose work has graced Jewish homes for over two decades.

Build and Use

Set out at any meal, the shakers hold salt and pepper in a pair of gently curved wood towers. Each piece is hand painted with the Oriental bird and floral motif, so no two carry the exact same brushwork. The pair measures about 1.5 by 1.5 by 4 inches, sized to sit comfortably at a table setting.

Gift Ideas

Bright and detailed, the shakers make a natural housewarming or wedding gift. They also suit an engagement, a bar or bat mitzvah, or an anniversary, and work well for anyone furnishing a new Jewish home. Their color and detail make them a welcome gift outside those occasions too.

Care Instructions

Wipe the shakers clean with a soft, dry cloth rather than washing them, since water can dull the painted wood. Keep them away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve the color.
