Like our normal copper and gold finished tins, but made from 100% Copper and 100% Brass. Most shakers on the market are made of stainless steel, then coated, or electroplated with different colors or finishes. There's nothing wrong with that. Heck, we even carry quite a few options ourselves. However, the thing about coats and plating, is they eventually chip, peel, or scratch away. Not these solid copper and brass versions. They may look like the plated versions, but they're copper (or brass) all the way down. These are a great way to add some individuality to your tools. Set of 2 shakers: 28oz and 18oz Care advice: Although you don't have to worry about these chipping or peeling, we do recommend some polishing from time to time. There are plenty of options out there for brands of metal polishes. Don't be afraid to look up one of the many DIY options online too. You probably already have everything you need lying around the house.
