Know before you buy
The lid is designed for easy access rather than an airtight seal. It rests securely on top to keep your salt protected from dust and kitchen debris while remaining simple to lift during cooking.
Only the stoneware body is dishwasher safe. The wooden knob on the lid should be hand-washed to preserve the integrity of the material.
With dimensions of 3" in diameter and 4" in height, it is sized perfectly for a standard box of kosher salt or a generous supply of sea salt flakes, keeping a functional amount right at your fingertips.
Because each piece is handmade from stoneware, the speckled glaze will vary slightly from one cellar to the next. This ensures that your specific item has a unique, artisanal character.
Yes, its versatile design makes it an excellent vessel for storing small items like jewelry, paperclips, or spices. It functions just as well as a decorative accent piece as it does a kitchen tool.
