Bamboo and bronze pepper shaker, pps. s. XX
Curious and unusual bamboo and bronze pepper shaker, made in Asia or Europe between the 19th and early 20th centuries. Large in size, this piece features a slender body carved with simple incisions and tribal borders. At the top, a bronze hand holds a hoop. It works by full rotation: the body is held and rotated, the upper part, to drive the grinding mechanism, suggesting an internal grinding wheel design. The bottom usually has an adjustable opening to determine the coarseness of the grind.
Due to its characteristics and mechanism, it appears to be a pepper shaker, although its design is unusual and its original function cannot be assured with certainty. Interesting collector's item.
