Archer's Salt and Pepper Shakers
Here they are, Archer's salt and pepper shakers as seen for the first time in Cold Front. Where? Where? you say.. those silver balls in front of Archer with the wand-like handles sticking straight up. Archer picks one up by the wand and deftly waves the ball, which is rigidly attached, back and forth over his eggs. Very cute though in my house this design would inspire folk to use them as mini pepper weapons. What I find odd about them is that there is no corresponding ball or knob on top of the wand which would make more sense. They succeed however in being cutely futuristic though I doubt fans will be rushing to buy them like Saurian brandy decanters.

actually, i want to buy them...any clues?
I'm dying to have them too. HELP!!!!!
I REALLY want to buy these but can't find anything close :(
Captain Archer's salt and pepper shakers are actually a set of two tea infusers made by Alessi. They retail for $250.
Good luck everyone :)
Right. Well these are actually a set of two tea infusers made by Alessi. They retail for over 250 USD. Archer has some really expensive taste.
Tea Infusers are also known as Long-Handled Tea Strainers. You might be able to find something cheaper that is of similar design.
Having owned this type of strainer before, I can tell you they do not make particularly good salt and pepper shakers. The salt and pepper strain right through the holes in the bottom, as they were designed to hold tea leaves.
I expect the ones in the show were actually empty.
