Peugeot Salt Mill, Natural Beech, 12cm

A 12cm tall salt mill in natural beech wood, with Peugeot's famous grinding mechanism at its core, made in France. For over 160 years Peugeot, established in 1840, have been manufacturing pepper and salt mills. The patented adjustable mechanism uses two rows of spiral teeth, or two rows of helicoidal grooves, which first crack the pepper corns or salt grains, then grind them finely.  The patented Zirlion mechanism is fabricated from medical-grade zirconia ceramic which is corrosion resistant and produces an ultra-fine powder grind for precise seasoning.  This is their Paris range, with a traditionally shaped lacquered beech body and a mechanism adjusted by loosening or tightening to topmost screw.
