Know before you buy
This piece is crafted from high-quality 18/10 stainless steel paired with durable thermoplastic resin components, ensuring both longevity and a premium feel.
The castor has a compact footprint with a diameter of 2.48 inches and a height of 4.45 inches. Its round, ergonomic shape is designed to be unobtrusive while remaining a visual focal point.
It is designed to dispense standard table salt or fine-grain sea salt. Because it uses a traditional shaker mechanism, it is best suited for free-flowing salts rather than coarse, chunky varieties.
The stainless steel and resin construction is durable for daily use. To maintain the sleek black finish, simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth and avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface.
This product is produced in Italy, adhering to Alessi's long-standing tradition of high-quality craftsmanship and design excellence.
