Description from the seller

Small boat-shaped salt, pepper, and chili container in brass and copper – 1980s

Description:

Refined condiment holder in the shape of a small boat made of brass and copper, dating back to the 1980s.
A object born to sit at the center of the table like a small aromatic sailing ship: its presence transforms the everyday gesture of adding salt or pepper into an almost theatrical moment.

The structure houses a central glass vial with a brass spoon dedicated to chili pepper, flanked by two side cylinders for salt and pepper.

The little boat is compact but scenic, with that warm, brass-like glow that always seems ready to set sail.

Perfect for both the home and a boat: a detail that brings a smile to guests and a maritime touch to the table.

Technical details

Era: the 1980s

Conditions: very good, with normal signs of age on the metal parts, consistent with materials and period.

Note:
An object that decorates and entertains: it's not just a condiment holder, but a small protagonist of the table.
The kind of dish that often becomes a topic of conversation even before the first course arrives.

Careful packaging and tracked shipment.

For Europe, shipping costs are only applicable to continental destinations; islands and remote locations may incur an additional fee, which will not exceed the costs of international shipments.
