Know before you buy
The lid is designed to rest securely on top of the ceramic vessel to protect your spices, but it is not airtight. It is best suited for everyday items like sea salt, dried herbs, or red pepper flakes that you use frequently.
The ceramic vessel is easy to wipe clean, but the entire piece should be hand washed. Avoid soaking the olivewood lid in water to prevent warping or cracking, and dry it thoroughly before replacing it on the base.
Absolutely. While it is sized perfectly for sea salt, the 7.5-ounce capacity makes it a great vessel for storing dried herbs, peppercorns, or even small kitchen essentials like paperclips or jewelry.
No, the lid is a solid piece of olivewood designed to sit flush against the ceramic rim. It is intended for use by pinching salt or spices with your fingers, which provides better control during cooking.
Olivewood is a natural material, so you may notice the grain darken or develop a unique patina with regular use. To maintain the wood's appearance, you can occasionally apply a food-safe mineral oil.
