STORY
Style is in season! Carved from palewa stone and accented with copper paint, these Stone Salt & Pepper Shakers bring more to the table. Centuries ago, skilled stone workers were brought to Agra under Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan to build the Taj Mahal. Today their descendants remain in the region, using the same tools and methods to achieve intricate soapstone carvings and inlay for beautiful sculptures and decorative pieces.

Our fair trade partner Tara Projects has been working with stone carvers in Agra for nearly two decades, improving the health and safety of producers, ensuring fair prices and emphasizing the importance of education for children.
DETAILS
  • Boxed set of two palewa stone shakers with etched and copper-painted stripes
  • Shakers are 1.5Dx3.5H, box measures 4SQx1.75H inches
  • One shaker has 5 holes and 5 copper stripes, the other has 3 holes and 3 copper stripes
  • Handmade in India
  • Care: These shakers are handcrafted from natural stone and intentionally left unsealed and unfinished to preserve the material's authentic beauty and character. Because natural stone is porous, it may absorb oils and moisture from handling or everyday use, resulting in darker areas or visible marks. Gently spot cleaning oil spots with dish soap can help remove them. Avoid soaking in water and handle with care.
