Know before you buy
Because each piece is individually hand-thrown and glazed by Jeremy Ayers, slight variations in shape, size, and the 'Black Web' pattern are expected. These differences are part of the artisanal process and ensure that your salt box is a one-of-a-kind piece.
Yes, this salt box is crafted from high-quality stoneware designed for everyday functionality. It is sturdy and built to withstand the rigors of a busy kitchen while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
We recommend hand-washing the box with mild soap and warm water to preserve the integrity of the glaze. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting it in the dishwasher to ensure the finish remains intact over time.
This specific design is intended for easy, open-access storage, allowing you to quickly grab a pinch of salt while cooking. It does not include a lid, making it ideal for high-traffic areas where you need salt at a moment's notice.
While designed as a salt box, its versatile size and open design make it a great vessel for other dry goods like peppercorns, dried herbs, or even as a small catch-all for jewelry or trinkets.
