Know before you buy
No, only the stoneware base is dishwasher safe. The oiled oak lid should be wiped clean with a damp cloth to preserve the wood's finish.
The lid is a loose-fitting cover designed to protect the contents from dust and cooking odors. It is not airtight, so it is best suited for dry spices or salt rather than items requiring a vacuum seal.
The cellar has a capacity of 0.4 liters, which is roughly 13.5 ounces. This provides ample space for a standard box of kosher or sea salt.
Yes, the minimalist design is quite versatile. Beyond spices, it works well as a decorative container for small items like jewelry, paperclips, or other household trinkets.
The stoneware is durable and designed for daily kitchen use. However, like all ceramic materials, it can chip if handled roughly or dropped on hard surfaces.
