Half a Century of Acrylic Craft

In 2025 we celebrate 50 years of acrylic mills. In 1975, David Cowan, son of Cole & Mason’s founder Julian Cowan, saw acrylic as ideal for a modern, practical mill. The result was the 505: a clear, durable design that became a kitchen essential. For five decades, acrylic mills have been a Cole & Mason hallmark, valued for their durability, easy care and timeless style.

In 2025 we celebrate 50 years of acrylic mills. It began in 1975 when David Cowan, the son of Cole & Mason founder Julian Cowen, saw acrylic as more than decorative but the perfect material for a modern, practical spice mill. That idea became the 505: a clear, durable design that made it easy to check levels and tell salt from pepper, quickly becoming a kitchen essential. For five decades, acrylic mills have remained a Cole & Mason hallmark, valued for their durability, easy care and timeless style.

To celebrate 50 years of innovation, we’re offering a special promotion until the end of September: receive a tray and refill funnel for half price when you purchase selected acrylic salt & pepper mill sets. Discover the collection, shop the latest designs, and enjoy the perfect balance of heritage, style and convenience with Cole & Mason acrylic mills.
