white hand-painted salt pig - handthrown stoneware

Description

As every foodie knows, it's hard to measure a pinch of salt with a salt shaker. That's why everyone who measures with their eyes and fingers needs a salt pig. Ever present near the stove in country kitchens, the salt pig keeps salt – especially the coarse grains of sea salt and kosher salt – within quick reach. And in the open air, they are less apt to form clumps.

This whimsical salt pig was thrown on a potters wheel, hand-painted in yellow and green and dipped in a clear glaze for luster. The bowl is about 1 1/2" (4 cm) deep and 3" (8 cm) wide, and is perched on three 1" (3 cm) legs. Included is a small spoon made of Acacia wood, an environmentally friendly hardwood grown in the Pacific Islands with beautiful grain and contrasting walnut brown to light tan colors. Acacia wood items have a naturally high resin content which resists absorption of stains, odors and liquids.







The salt pig is dishwasher safe. However, the wood spoon should be hand washed.
