This is a set of vintage salt and pepper mills by the West German manufacturer STOHA, dating from the 1960s. The design is a quintessential example of the period's aesthetic, combining a spherical Lucite body with a minimalist black top, capturing the essence of Space Age design principles. Crafted from transparent Lucite, also known as Plexiglass, the mills feature a clear, orb-like base that reveals the internal grinding mechanism. The tops are made of black plastic, finished with a small, polished steel finial. Produced in West Germany, this set embodies the clean lines and innovative material use characteristic of Mid-Century Modern design. This set would make a distinctive addition to a modern or retro-inspired dining table, offering both function and a touch of design history. They pair well with minimalist tableware and serve as a subtle nod to 1960s European design.
