The use of salt cellars can be dated back millennia to imperial Rome, where they were a sign of great wealth. (The now ubiquitous seasoning wasn't always so easy to find.) In our day, the salt shaker has conquered the dinner table, but a sleek, contemporary take on the classic is here to rule the table again. A base of glazed white ceramic meets a teak spoon and lid for a clean piece that befits any modernist’s table.

A sign of great wealth?... might be a stretch. But a sign of great taste? Most definitely.

Tip of the Tongue:

Measuring just over 2 inches tall, it’ll hold plenty of salt for the week's dinners, but it doesn't dominate the table. For some really unique flavors to fill the cellar, check out Jacobsen Salt Co.’s Black Garlic Salt or their Flaky White Finishing Salt.
