I wished these spreaders, as I like to fancy prefer and the sheep were so sweet. They are well made and it fits a lot of salt / pepper into it. I think they are (of course, depending on your taste) good to use for everyday use in the kitchen, but also on the more festive table. They come with a small ceramic bowl, so they do not "mess". Downstairs sitting plastic nipple for filling, they are very resistant and can be solved difficult, but I think that gives itself with frequent use. The sheep have the opening to sprinkle on top of the back. The Salt Shaker has 3 holes, the pepper shaker 1. I am very satisfied and recommend everyone this sheep companions :)
