Mackenzie-Childs Sterling Check Salt & Pepper Shakers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very cute set, and goes well with my blue tablecloth. I like the unusual shape, and they hold a good quantity without needing to be refilled frequently. I expected that they would have a shiny silvery finish, but it's actually matte and there doesn't seem to be any actual silver, just the grey color. This was a bit disappointing, but I like the set otherwise
