Dem bones. Dem bones. Hand bone connected to the arm bone. Arm bone connected to the salt!? Well, in this case, yes. Don't worry dese bones are not hollowed bones that have been harvested from the morgue and fitted with corks. They're porcelain shakers created by Chris Stiles, a Los Angeles artist who calls the set Dry Bones, after the famous spiritual.
At $24 a set, they are a tad pricy, but not nearly as much as Vera Wang's sleek pair, which sells for over $50. They're perfect for the Deadhead chef on your holiday shopping list. Or perhaps, the dog lover, then again maybe not. Fido might run off with one and try to bury it. Of course, if he's one of those dogs who like people food, you just might find him sitting down to a feast and using the salt and pepper to fine-tune the flavor of his table scraps.
