Description
Quail Ceramics designs in England and fires the figures in high-fired stoneware, after which each dachshund is painted by hand. The characteristic long body and friendly expression take on small variations in colour tone from set to set — no two dachshunds are identical. It belongs to the English tradition of figurative tableware, where humour and craftsmanship meet at the dinner table.

Dishwasher safe. Avoid dropping them on hard tiles — stoneware can chip under hard knocks.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between hand-painted stoneware and ordinary ceramic for salt and pepper?
Stoneware is fired at a higher temperature than ordinary ceramic, making it denser, stronger and less porous. The hand-painted finish means each dachshund gets small variations in colour and expression — no two sets are exactly alike.
Can the Quail dachshund salt and pepper set go in the dishwasher?
Yes, the stoneware is dishwasher safe thanks to the high firing temperature. To preserve the hand-painted finish for as long as possible, a gentle cycle is recommended.
Is the Quail dachshund salt and pepper a good hostess gift?
Yes, the set is an obvious hostess gift for dog lovers and collectors of table figures. It is functional, has character and comes in a price and size category that suits both a dinner invitation and a birthday.
How are salt and pepper filled into the Quail figures?
Each dachshund has a stopper in the base that is removed for filling. Sprinkling happens through small holes in the top of the figure.

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.
