Overview

A cream plastic shelf, which holds six small containers with screw caps. The back of the shelf has the face of a chef and the hands of the chef wrap around all the containers, as if the check is carrying the containers on a tray. The fingernails are red. Each container has a red top and a screw cap top which swivels to reveal shaker holes for dispensing and there is the name of a different spice on each container.

Historical information

The spices are "GINGER', "ALLSPICE", "NUTMEG","CINNAMON", "SALT" and "PEPPER".
