This salt and pepper set from British brand Quail features the cats Reuben and Sparky, each hand-painted in stoneware with delicate details in their fur and facial expressions. Quail is known for their ceramic animal figures, with every piece individually painted by artisans in their workshop. The density of the stoneware clay makes the figures sturdy enough for everyday use, and the surface is food safe. Each cat measures 8.5 cm tall and has an opening at the top for salt and pepper respectively.
Care and maintenance
Hand wash with mild dish soap to preserve the hand-painted surface as long as possible. Avoid the dishwasher.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Quail’s cat salt & pepper set and their other animal sets?
Quail produces salt & pepper sets with various animal designs – dachshunds, guinea pigs, swans, ducks, and more. All are hand-painted stoneware of the same quality, but the motifs vary. The cats Reuben and Sparky have more detailed fur patterns than, for example, the guinea pigs, and their facial expressions are more playful.
Are Quail’s cat salt & pepper sets dishwasher safe?
It is not recommended. Although the stoneware is durable, the hand-painted surface can wear faster in the dishwasher. Hand washing with mild detergent keeps the colors and details sharp for many years.
How do I fill salt and pepper into the cats?
Each cat has an opening at the top (the crown) where you fill in the spices. There are holes in the bottom of the figures so salt and pepper can be shaken out during use.
Is Quail’s cat salt & pepper set a good gift for cat lovers?
Yes, especially as a hostess or birthday gift for someone who loves both cats and functional ceramics. The set combines humor with practical use, and Quail’s hand-painted quality makes it more than cheap kitsch.
Are all Quail’s cat salt & pepper sets identical?
No, because each figure is hand-painted, there will be small variations in brush strokes and color tones. This is part of the charm of handmade ceramics – your set will never be 100% identical to another.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
