QTY:

The “Banana Family” of helpful and intelligent monkeys grows in number and extends its functions. “Banana King” and “Banana Queen” are a Salt grinder and a Pepper grinder and are recognisable by the different head decorations (two leaves for the salt and a banana for the pepper), but actually they are completely interchangeable as “Banana King” and “Banana Queen” have identical grinding mechanisms.

They are made of injection-moulded thermoplastic resin with a grinder made of ceramic, a material that is robust, washable, high quality and high precision. This type of material can grind salt, pepper, or any kind of spice. The absence of metal components eliminates corrosion, so maintaining the high qualitative standard of these utensils. The grinding size is regulated by adjusting a screw on the bottom.

The “Banana Family” line maintains the high standards of decoration by hand and quality of materials set by the “OrienTales” series, and they continue the collaboration with the National Palace Museum of Taiwan, begun with the “Chin Family” collection.

About the Banana Family

Within “OrienTales”, after “Chin Family” a new family of products is born and raised: the “Banana Family”. In this new episode of collaboration with the National Palace Museum of Taiwan the monkey, one of the most beloved animals in the Chinese and oriental culture, celebrated both in art and in objects connected with popular culture, becomes a distinctive icon.
