Then invite one to dinner and spice things up a bit.
Dansk summoned these exotic woods from the rainforests of the world to Jens Quistgaard's Danish studio. They make up this delegation of uncommon salt-and-peppers.
Quistgaard designed each piece as a complete table seasoner. The top holds salt. The lower half grinds up fresh peppercorns. Clever? Yes. But there's more to it than that.
The shapes here, as in Dansk's entire Top of the Table Collection, are sculptures in their own right. Designer Quistgaard selects his rare woods with an expert eye. Then he carves dozens of models, before deciding on the few to be reproduced.
Each must come up to the very special Dansk standard. Each must be fresh. Dignified. Audacious. Timeless. Satisfying to behold. And all this beauty must work. How?
Effortlessly. As do our pepper mill mechanisms. They're as extraordinary as the shapes. They're made in France especially for Dansk. The steel is so hard, and machined so accurately it can crack the toughest peppercorn to a gourmet's taste. Each mill is pre-set to a medium grind because that's how pepper tastes best. No re-adjustments, no chunks -- just a smooth, even sprinkling of pungent grains. Such knowing places as Laperouse in Paris and La Cremaillre in Banksville, New York use them.
So treat yourself and your table to one of these unique seasoners. Soon you'll find you're giving them to your favorite people. They'll think you're the salt of the earth.
