Description
This is a pair of lidded marble jars for salt and pepper, each a round pot 7.5cm across and 6.5cm tall. Both are made from 100% marble with a polished finish, and the lid is made of the same speckled stone as the body, so the pattern carries across the whole jar when it is closed. The two jars contrast with each other in tone, which gives a multicoloured pair and makes it easy to tell salt from pepper at a glance. Marble is a natural stone, so the speckling on your jars will not match any other pair exactly.
At 7.5cm across, each jar is sized for the worktop beside the hob or the middle of the dining table, holding the salt and pepper you reach for while cooking and eating rather than a bulk supply for the cupboard. The maker lists them as suitable for food, so salt flakes, peppercorns or other dry seasonings can go straight into the stone. On the table they sit neatly on a board or tray between plates, and a low, wide form like this is hard to knock over when hands reach across. They suit anyone who seasons by the pinch.
Each lid lifts straight off and has a stepped underside that drops inside the rim of the jar, so it stays put without a hinge or a screw thread. The walls are thick, and the polished finish gives the marble a soft sheen. The jars do not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven. Neither jar is marked, so you decide which holds the salt and which the pepper. For styling, stand the pair on a wooden board with a small spoon beside each, or line them up on an open shelf next to a stack of plates, where the contrast between the two stones does the work.
