Treasures! - Danish Stuff

So excited to find this salt and pepper shaker and mill! It's a really nice example of one of the pepper mills designed by the celebrated danish modern designer, Jens Quistgaard. Among the many, many beautiful things designed by Quistgaard, were the extensive line of wood (primarily teak) kitchen items designed for Dansk (a company he helped create). Quistgaard designed an estimated 70 mills for Dansk.

This is a great little book about them.

Until very recently, I also had the mill on the far right of the book cover. It's gotten so hard to find these pieces, and the ones that come up are so expensive, that I bit the bullet and sold it on EBay. I'm kicking my self a little bit now....but there's always hope in the treasure hunt!
