Alexander Home The Original European Mill – Brass 9-Inch Salt Grinder

Experience the subtle drama of a brass grinder designed to elevate everyday seasoning. The Alexander Home The Original European Mill stands 9 inches tall and uses a fine, steady grind to bring out aroma and texture in your salts, helping you season with intention rather than guesswork.

Crafted with care, this mill reflects a handmade heritage. Each piece is produced in small batches by skilled artisans, yielding unique variations in finish and tone. The warm brass gleam softens with use, and a natural patina gradually develops, lending depth and character to the piece. If you ever want to refresh its look, a gentle polish can restore brightness while preserving its distinctive charm.

Key benefits you may notice

• Durable, corrosion‑resistant mechanism designed for dry small to medium coarse salt
• Fine, steady grind that helps you achieve even seasoning
• One-of-a-kind handmade finish with authentic artisan character
• Brass aesthetic that ages gracefully, adding timeless style to your kitchen

Practical design features thoughtful assembly and use. For the first setup, the crank handle is tucked inside the mill during shipping. To assemble, loosen the top nut, lift the cap to access the shaft, place the handle onto the shaft, replace the cap, and tighten the nut securely. These steps help deliver a snug grinding experience from the first use.

Salt compatibility and care guidance help you get the most from each grind. Use dry small-to-medium coarse salt and avoid wet or grey sea salts and large flakes for best performance and consistency. The grinder stands about 9 inches tall with a 2.25 inch base diameter, and with the handle, the full width is approximately 4 inches, offering a balanced, comfortable grip on the counter or at the table.

• Each mill is handmade and unique, with subtle finish variations that reflect artisan craft
