ode to an icon
The Mara Salt & Pepper Shaker reimagines a household staple with a design inspired by the cultural symbolism of the classic steak dinner. This handsculpted design, crafted from flameworked borosilicate glass with a cast aluminum lid, celebrates the journey of food from farm to table by honoring the cow — a figure central to this process. The shaker's form playfully nods to the cow’s hoof, connecting the meal’s origins to the act of seasoning. The design draws on the heart (kitchen) and soul (dining room) of the home, grounding a timeless culinary practice in contemporary form.
