The most preliminary form of salt and pepper shakers were mills that ground the respective substances into powders that were placed on top of regular foods and some cocktail drinks. The mills ground the substances with gear mechanisms that smash the hard crystallized salt and the kernels of pepper. These mills are regaining some traction after interest was lost in them because of the development of the milling process in factories which sent out the milled substance in bottles to the public. Since this occurred, the refined salt and pepper shakers gained a large reputation. In recent years with the naturalist revolution towards going green etc., the interest in mills has regained some ground and can be found in most department stores.

The tourism and novelties industry had found that these little items, salt and pepper shakers, can be a great source of revenue as they are nearly ubiquitous on American and Western European tables. The shakers can be made of nearly any material from natural items such as soft or exotic woods to highly refined stones or even the easy to mass produce plastics. Souvenirs are frequently made with emblems printed on the side of the salt and pepper shakers. In the event of a stone or wood, the image can be laser etched onto the side of the container adding a sophistication and a level of class to the item. Many different companies that are in the tourism of marketing industry have found it useful to consider public relations work in this way, quite similar to the way a bank will always allow you to take a pen with their logo and information on it.

The last category to consider is the style that the individual shakers can bring to your table. Typically an empty table only has a few different items on it. A centerpiece or table cloth might be places on the table in order to ornament the table, although this could be seen as distracting from the original grain or complexion of the table itself. An easy way to be sure that the table is the center of the attention in any room is to minimize the material on it. A simple place mat and a set of stylish stone salt and pepper shakers will easily be sure that the piece is not dominating, but still retains its appeal as a piece of carpentry.
