Scope note
Vessels having a perforated top for sprinkling ground pepper on food. Pepper shakers are made in a variety of forms and materials, including glass, ceramic, and metal. They are often paired with a saltshaker. Saltshakers and pepper shakers may be designed in whimsical forms that are considered collectibles. For similar objects for sprinkling pepper but made of precious materials and designed as part of a larger set of casters, particularly in historical or formal usage, use "pepper casters." For devices used for storing and grinding peppercorns, use "peppermills."
