Verified claims
- Exclusivity
- Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada, with a shiny ceramic body, hand-painted summer floral motifs, a cream-colored glossy finish, and a contrasting olive-green lid with knob.
- Price context
- Costs one-third of artisan cellars and $7 less than plain white ones.
- Functional design
- The solid lid deflects ambient kitchen humidity and cooking splatters, and the wide 3.5-inch mouth allows a clean pinch.
- Pinch access
- 3.5-inch mouth fits a thumb and three fingers for a clean pinch.
- Dimensions
- Dimensions (3.5×3 in) match America's Test Kitchen's 2026 Best Buy.
- Lid
- Solid lid for scooping; not a shaker, guards against humidity.
- Moisture protection
- The solid ceramic lid, while not airtight, creates a protective cap that deflects ambient kitchen humidity and cooking splatters, helping keep salt free-flowing.
- Care
- This cellar is hand-wash only; hand-washing protects the glossy ceramic surface and avoids dishwasher glaze damage that can micro-crack artisan ceramics.
- Set value
- At $18 per piece, building a matching Summer Pattern set is more accessible than artisanal collections where single pieces often start above $40.
- Decorative pattern
- Hand-painted summer floral motifs on a glossy cream ceramic body with a contrasting olive-green knobbed lid make this a decorative countertop accent.
- Tableware coordination
- Matching pieces sold separately allow building a coordinated Simons Maison tableware set.
- Interior depth
- The cellar's interior cavity stays under 3 inches deep, so the salt surface remains within fingertip reach from the first pinch to the last and most users won't need a spoon.
- Placement
- Its compact footprint suits countertop or tabletop placement.

Keeping salt or spices at the stove or table
This small glazed ceramic cellar with a removable olive-green knobbed lid is intended for holding salt, spices, and other bulk seasonings within reach while cooking or seasoning at the table. The wide open top makes the contents easy to pinch or scoop, and in the pictured presentation coarse white salt is piled nearly to the rim (salt is staging, not included). Note that a visible thin gap appears where the lid rim rests on the jar top, so the fit is not airtight.[1,2,3]
