AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 2 pieces Danish vintage grinders. The body is made of beech wood and the handle is ring-shaped and made of cast iron. The grinders sit well in the hand and are easy to use.
This is a design by designer JHQ Jensen Harald Quistgaard (1919-2008). The grinders were produced by the manufacturer Richard Nissen Denmark.
These grinders come from the 1970s-1980s and have become collectible pieces, such that in 2008 there was even a book about them: "Danish Pepper" by Mark Perlson. This book focused mainly on the many types of grinders and also includes several Danish designs such as those by Jens H. Quistgaard and Richard Nissen.
Dimensions: H 14/16.5 cm x Ø 7.5/9.0 cm

Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
