Bunnies are almost unbearably cute. When you can add their cuteness to your kitchen or dining room, it’s even better! Salt and pepper shakers in the shape of rabbits are a wonderful addition to the table.
These are great in spring and around Easter, but there’s no reason to limit them to this time of year. They’ll always add a bit of color and happiness.
We’ve tried to have a couple styles here. Some of our picks look more like realistic rabbits, while others are more fanciful and have even gotten dressed up. It may come down to personal taste, but we think there’s a place for them all out there!
Whether you’re a collector of rabbit knicks knacks, salt and pepper shakers, or just want something cute to bring new life to your home, you’ll love these!
Appletree Designs Cosmos 10588 Salt & Pepper Shaker
We found this set of rabbit salt and pepper shakers particularly appropriate for Easter, even though there’s nothing that would limit them to that time.
Each bunny holds what appears to be a daffodil. The figures are handmade ceramics and handpainted as well.
They each measure 2 inches by 2 1/2 inches by 2 3/4 inches. They’re small and delicate, and are best for decoration rather than regular use. In fact, the most common issue we’ve seen with them is that part of the flower petal was broken off (in transit or in an accident after receiving it). Don’t misunderstand – it’s not a common issue. But it’s the only issue that ever seems to come up!
White Bunny Rabbits with Flowers Ceramic Salt and Pepper Shakers
These porcelain shakers are beautiful decorated with flowers. Each bunny has a flower in its paws, but there are also more flowers on their backs.
The salt shaker is a bit smaller than the pepper. Salt measures 2 1/8 inches by 2 1/2 by 3. Pepper is 2 inches by 2 1/4 by 3 3/4.
Most notable about these is there piercing eyes – they really are intense! The paint job as a whole is very well done.
Again, these are small and rather delicate. Still, they’ll go great on the table for Easter, throughout spring, or anytime!
Abbott Collection Bunny and Carrot Salt and Pepper 2 Piece Set
We’ve only got one bunny in this set, but he’s not letting go of his carrot! And the two look absolutely wonderful together.
The bunny is about 3.5 inches tall and will take care of your pepper. The carrot is a good bit shorter but can handle your salt quite well. However, it is a bit tough to fill them.
The pieces are made of ceramic.
The pieces fit together well, but of course you have to take extra care since, like everything else in this article, the ceramic is fragile.
Appletree Design Barn Yard Bunny Salt and Pepper Set
The Billy Joel song “Uptown Girl” popped into mind when we saw this piece. The female bunny is all dressed up in her Easter finest, while the boy seems to be just coming home from a ball game on the sandlot. Two different worlds, perhaps, but you can see there’s something special between them. He’s even got flowers behind his back ready to present to her!
These are also rather tall pieces, measures 4 1/8 inches. There is a lot of detail in the pieces and they’re finely painted. They’re still somewhat delicate since they’re ceramic, but the form makes them a little less prone to damage since there are no pieces sticking out (like ears).
Stealstreet Rosy Rabbits Salt and Pepper Shakers
This could almost be the “years later” companion of the piece right above. This happy couple has been around a while but their happiness is undiminished. She’s dressed beautifully while he’s been out doing the gardening, but they smile brightly as they walk hand-in-arm.
These are easily the largest pieces in our list. They measuring 4 1/2 inches high, and 3 inches wide and deep.
They are painted with rich colors and finely detailed.
