What was originally called the ‘magic cube’ was designed by a Hungarian architecture professor back in 1974. Ern? Rubik gave his name to the mechanical puzzle which has become an icon of sorts to people worldwide. Artists have used the image of the six-faced game with the familiar colored squares, all of which are intended to be matched together on a single face in order to solve the puzzle.

The Rubik’s Cube salt and pepper shaker is another development in the familiar design and will make a fun talking point at the dinner table. For fans of the mathematical brainteaser, the salt and pepper shaker is a great gift idea for anyone you know who will appreciate the duel use of such a unique tableware accessory.

The white porcelain salt’n'pepper shakers in the shape of human hands are great for a table setting that requires a little humor and creativity. If you yourselves work in a profession that deals with human hands in some direct or indirect way then these shakers will provide some light relief and ironic symbolism to the end of your busy days at work.

Of course, they can be placed in any type of setting and will match the majority of dinnerware and tableware designs. Placed in a kitchen, they can adorn a shelf or cabinet where they can be seen from within the entire interior.

In the similar posts section below you will also note a similar novelty salt and pepper shaker set this time with a pig theme.

On one of the shakers is the head of a donkey, representing the Democrat Party, on the other is the head of an Elephant, which symbolises the Republican Party. Dinner guests of various political affiliations will be able to discuss politics whilst the dinner table remains politically correct and unbiased.

Each head was originally sculpted in clay, then later cast in durable pewter before finally being given a coating of nickel silver. The latter is what gives each its shine. Both shakers come as a pair and are accompanied by a matching pewter holder. This allows for safe storage when not in use and ease of transport when being delivered to the dinner table. Both are American made.

Food brings people together and this Democrat/Republican salt and pepper shaker set will create unity across the dining room table.
