An original vintage tableware set made of beautifully grained teak wood, consisting of two spice containers and a wooden base with a central handle.
a distinctive feature of the set are the metal “z” and “p” markings on the containers. The letter z may refer to the dutch word zout (salt), while p may refer to peper (pepper), which is an interesting clue suggesting a connection between the set and the dutch-speaking market—the netherlands or belgium.
the containers feature gold-colored metal caps and original closures on the bottom. The entire set rests on a rectangular base with three slots for the set’s components. The tall central element serves as a handle or a napkin holder.
the set’s design fits perfectly into the mid-century modern/scandinavian modern aesthetic, characteristic of teak utility items produced in europe during the 1960s and 1970s.
the set was found on the european vintage market. The manufacturer has not been identified, so i am not attributing it to a specific company or designer without confirmation.
