Dansk 890 'Hourglass with Lip' Teak pepper mill Jens Quistgaard - Denmark

The Hourglass with Lip consists of two spherical lobes, with the top lobe slightly smaller in size. The lobes are connected by a gently tapered neck that flares out to form two lip-like shapes. The grinder rotation point rests between these matching lips. The overall design is reminiscent of traditional turned-wood shapes - the lobes of the design resemble door knobs and finials in both shape and scale.

The top of the mill has a larger than usual cap that covers the salt-loading point, with cork being used to make the interior connection in our all-metal grinder specimen. Salt is dispersed via eight salt holes. Pepper is loaded through the base of this mill.
