ju salt and pepper set 2000

glazed stoneware salt shaker and polished cast aluminium pepper shaker both with cast silicon plugs. ju blurs the line of old and new, combining elements of both.
the classical form and glazed white ceramic finish of the salt vessel draws from the past.
in contrast, the polished cast aluminium finish of the pepper vessel and the detail present in the spouts imply modernity.
by combining these elements, the set can exist independently from or complement a traditional crockery collection.
the relationship between the two pieces can be interpreted as a metaphor for old and new coming together, as inseparable as salt and pepper.
