These are peppermills reflecting the Turkish families which is quite precious in Turkish traditions.
The metal tops are inspired by the Ottoman taps and the base parts from the alems.
The family consists of father, mother and kid, where Ottoman is the father, Ottowoman is the mother and Ottokid is the kid.
The small one, Ottokid can be used both as a salt and peppermill where the others are used only for peppermills.
The mills are made in Italy.
The bodies are handmade (white or light pink) laquered European beech wood.
The top metal shapes are laser cut, high quality solid brass.
The top parts are sterling silver and 24 carat gold plated and have undergone a protective anti-oxidation treatment to preserve their shine.
The grinding mechanisms for the pepper mills are stainless steel
The grinding mechanisms for the salt mills are ceramic
Contrary to most pepper grinders, the grinders do not crush but rather cut the peppercorns to achieve maximium flavour.
All mills are adjustable to moderate the settings from fine to coarse cutting
