Know before you buy
The cruet utilizes a specialized glass-cutting technique that creates a precision-fit seal between the stopper and the bottle. This airtight connection ensures that liquid flow stops immediately after pouring, preventing drips from running down the side of the glass.
No, this item is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the glass and the precision fit of the stopper, we recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap.
The cruet has a capacity of approximately 3.4 fluid ounces (100ml). Its compact size is specifically designed for frequent use of condiments like soy sauce, vinegar, or oils at the table.
While it works perfectly for standard soy sauce, vinegar, and thin oils, it is not recommended for thick, viscous liquids. The narrow spout is designed for free-flowing condiments and may clog if used with thicker substances.
Yes, it is crafted from high-quality soda lime glass in Tokyo. While it is a functional piece of art, it is designed for regular dining use, though it should be handled with the care typically afforded to fine glassware.
