Know before you buy
The Japanese cypress lid is designed to sit securely on top of the ceramic base, but it is not airtight. This is ideal for salt, as it allows for easy access while keeping out dust and debris.
The ceramic body is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. We recommend hand-washing the Japanese cypress lid with mild soap and drying it thoroughly to maintain the integrity of the wood.
Yes, the container is versatile enough to store other dry goods like sugar, spices, or loose-leaf tea. Its 14.2oz capacity makes it a great size for frequently used pantry staples.
The Bee House salt box is made from high-quality, durable ceramic crafted in Japan. While it is sturdy for everyday kitchen use, it should be handled with the same care as any other fine ceramic kitchenware.
No, the natural Japanese cypress lid is untreated and food-safe. It will not impart any flavor or odor to your salt.
