Rubik's cruet

A 2000s pepper mill based on the design of a Rubik's cube puzzle which was invented by Erno Rubik in 1974. The cruet has a ceramic mill which is surrounded by an injection moulded polystyrene case which is styled to imitate a Rubik's cube. The top layer of the case is in two sections. An outer lid which pulls off to allow the mill to be filled with pepper corns, and an inner part which turns to perform the grinding action of the mill. The bottom layer is also removable to reveal the grinder and to allow for adjustment. The cruet was made under licence for Seven Towns Ltd. c 2009.
