Quail produces these pug shakers in stoneware with individual hand-painting. Each dog therefore has slight variations in color tone — no two sets are identical. The stoneware is fired at high temperature, making it durable for everyday use. The holes at the top of each figure are sized for standard salt and pepper grains. Quail is a British maker specializing in ceramic animal figures for the kitchen, founded in 1987.
Care and maintenance
Dishwasher safe, but hand washing will extend the life of the hand-painted surface. Avoid scrubbing with abrasive sponges.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Quail’s animal shakers and regular ceramic salt and pepper sets?
Quail’s shakers are individually hand-painted with detailed animal motifs, while mass-produced ceramic sets are typically decal-decorated or uniformly glazed. Each Quail figure shows subtle variations in brush strokes and color tone.
Can the hand-painting withstand dishwasher use without fading?
Yes, the paint is fired at high temperature and is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing will prolong its lifespan, as repeated machine washing over time may slightly dull the colors.
Is the pug salt and pepper set suitable for coarse ground pepper and coarse sea salt?
The holes are sized for standard grain size. Suitable for medium-fine ground pepper and regular sea salt. Very coarse grains may get stuck — grind them finer first.
Is the pug salt and pepper set a good gift for dog owners?
Yes, especially for pug owners or French bulldog enthusiasts. Works well as a hostess gift, birthday present, or Christmas gift for anyone who collects kitchen ceramics with a touch of humor.
Can I buy other dog breeds as salt and pepper sets from Quail?
Quail produces several dog breeds, including labrador, terrier, and spaniel. The range varies, so check Dims Studio’s selection for current designs. Many collectors combine different animal species from the series.

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.
