These are the second set of these shakers that I have had. The last ones lasted over 10 years. The pepper shaker got dented and the "P" came loose from being dropped, so I searched on Amazon and was thrilled to find another set. I find them lovely, user friendly with a simple touch of class. They are easy to clean, I wipe them with a damp cloth, and they look as good as new. I especially like the size, so they don't need to be filled constantly and they are durable (hence the 10 years) I especially like the handles and the hammered look, classic country/ antique look, which fits perfectly into my kitchen decor.I like them so much I kept the old set for my spice cabinet for cooking.Hoping these last as long as the last, if so, I will review again in 10 years!
