These peppermills, otherwise known as “table seasoners”, evoke tiny household sculptures, powerful individually, but most compelling when grouped and viewed in sets.
Is that some kind of direct translation from Danish, the "table seasoners" part? I'm certainly not a native speaker of English, but that was a term I've never heard before ... I tried googling it but didn't find much, which is why I ask.
Breaking it down, in case you're curious:
"Seasoning" (you're doubtless aware) refers to salt and pepper, and the act of adding them to food. But I've never heard the word "seasoner" to refer to a salt or pepper dispenser.
The "table" part is fairly commonly used as in "table salt" i.e. salt in a dispenser on the dining table. It's also occasionally used in phrases like "water for the table" when asking a waiter to bring enough water for everyone at the table.
But "table seasoners" is a bit over-laboured for me.
...to the author, who is now trying to make "table seasoner" happen by implying that everyone who is anyone is saying it.
