This piece was the 2nd place winner in the 2025 Pendleton Cattle Barons maker contest fabrication category. It was inspired by a client who hired me to build a custom pocket sized pepper shaker to carry chili pequin ground pepper. Building this little dude tested my fabrication skills in a variety of ways. It is made from 100% sterling silver, fully engraved and heavily antiqued. Pepper can be funneled into a small tap that is secured with a hand fabricated screw. The other side of the piece features shaker holes covered by a lid latched with a wire closure. This piece would be a very unique addition to anyone’s collection, and a great option for someone who is hard to shop for.
