Kenyan Bone Salt & Pepper Shaker Set | Hand-Carved Zebra Pattern

These Handcrafted Kenyan Bone Salt & Pepper Shakers are a striking example of functional African art. Hand-carved by skilled artisans using ethically sourced cow bone, each shaker is finished with a traditional Batik process—where wax and dye are used to create the bold, organic "Zebra" or "Wave" patterns.

These shakers aren't just kitchen tools; they are conversation pieces that represent the rich heritage of Kenyan craftsmanship.

Key Features

• Artisanal Batik Design: Every shaker is hand-etched and dyed, ensuring that the black-and-white patterns are unique to each set.

• Ethically Sourced Materials: Made from repurposed cow bone, polished to a high-shine, ivory-like finish.

• Solid Wood End-Caps: The top and bottom are sealed with hand-turned hardwood for durability and a natural contrast.

• Compact & Ergonomic: The cylindrical "pill" shape fits comfortably in the hand for easy seasoning.

• Authentic Kenyan Craft: Directly supports local manufacturers and artisans in Kenya.

  Primary Uses

  • Dining Table Centerpiece: Adds a "Global Chic" or boho-modern aesthetic to your table setting.

  • Functional Seasoning: Designed for standard fine-ground salt and pepper.

  • Unique Gifting: An ideal gift for weddings, housewarmings, or collectors of African art.

    Care Instructions

    • Wipe Clean Only: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the surface. Do not soak in water or place in the dishwasher, as moisture can damage the internal wood or cause the bone to crack.

    • Refilling: Gently remove the stopper at the base to refill. Ensure the interior is completely dry before adding fresh salt or pepper to prevent clumping.

    • Avoid Direct Heat: Keep away from stove-tops or high-heat areas to preserve the natural batik dyes and wood finish.

    • Brass/Bone Care: Every few months, you can rub a tiny drop of mineral oil on the bone to maintain its luster.
