Pepper Shaker

aceo
It has a "P" on the lid. 
I've been looking for glass salt and pepper shakers for painting, and when I saw this one in the store, it was pretty much what I had in mind.  But it was the only one.  I put salt in it because I need a salt shaker more often than a pepper shaker.
The dangerous thing is that I Googled pepper shaker (only because I live in Germany, where small words are combined into gargantuan words, and I couldn't remember if this was one word or two), and found a beautiful set of pewter and glass shakers from Italy.  Oh oh.

Lean On Me

18 x 34,5 cm This guy had two sections when I brought him home. When a third section appeared, he started tipping over, so I removed the new one. And kept doing so with subsequent growth. But one day, when I wasn't looking, there came a few new ones and I didn't have the heart to take them off. I leaned him the right direction against the window for support, and everything is fine.
