These are our 10-inch hardwood Morrison mills, our version of a traditional shaped salt and pepper mill. They can be ordered in Ash, Cherry, and Walnut.
These mills are approximately 2 5/8" in diameter at the base and tapers to 1 1/2" in the mid-section and stands 10 1/2" tall. Because these are turned by eye all measurements are approximate.
The shape is modeled after a picture that I saw of a lady dancing. Starting from the head, shoulders and waist area, all the way down to the beads or rings that I've turned near the bottom to be like the folds of her dress.
The pepper grinding mechanism used is Stainless Steel and the salt grinding mechanism used is Ceramic and both are made here in the US.
The finish on the mill is a food grade polymerized Tung oil and a wax mixture which gives a nice luster to the mill. So it's safe to use on your food and cleans up easily. Care instructions are included.
On these Morrison Mills, I use beads on the bottom to differentiate between salt and pepper mills. Salt mills have just one bead and pepper mills have three.
You are placing an order for these mills. You will not receive the exact ones pictured. There will be subtle differences from the ones pictured because they are all one of a kind mills.
