Product Insights
The Wood And Porcelain Salt Cellar ($15 CAD) combines a breathable natural wood lid and matching spoon with a genuine porcelain body that resists moisture, odor, and stains—a rare quality at this price. The wood spoon wicks moisture, prevents scratches, avoids metallic taste, and resists bacteria, while the porcelain base blocks moisture and the lid vents humidity, eliminating the need for rice. This compact 4-inch salt pig holds enough for a multi-course dinner, but the unvarnished wood components require hand-washing and occasional oiling to preserve their patina and prevent cracking, making the traditional aesthetic and moisture control a tradeoff for higher maintenance.

Parfait
Très chic.
Aesthetically Pleasing
Aesthetically pleasing but functionally it could be better. The lid design is poor. It is not a canister type lid with a silicone ring so it loosely fits and slips off if you pick it up.
