Salt Pig — Cornflower
Salt Pig — Cornflower
Cornflower
You'll receive this exact piece — the one shown in the photos.
A handy salt pig for keeping salt within easy reach of the cooker, glazed in Cornflower. This Salt Pig is thrown on the wheel in my home studio in Congleton, Cheshire, with a wide opening sized for a pinch of salt or a small spoon. Once thrown, it's turned and finished by hand the next day, then dried, bisque fired, glazed, and fired again before it's ready to use.
Cornflower is a soft blue poured over white, left to gather and deepen where it pools, with the clay showing through at the edges — no two pieces carry quite the same markings.
A pinch of salt, always within reach
- Approx. 13cm wide, 13cm tall
- Wide opening, easy to pinch salt straight from the pot
- Dishwasher and microwave safe — avoid the oven, grill, hob and open flame
This is the exact piece shown in the photos, not a similar one, since every piece is thrown and glazed entirely by hand, small differences in shape, glaze movement and colour are part of its unique character. Once it's gone, it's gone.
Details
Glaze: Cornflower
Each piece is handmade, so exact dimensions vary slightly — see the photos above for scale.
Small wooden spoon included.
The handmade character
Small differences in shape, glaze movement, colour and texture are part of each piece's unique character. An unglazed, sanded base is normal, and fine crazing may appear over years of use — a natural trait of glazed stoneware.
Caring for your piece
Dishwasher and microwave safe. Avoid oven, grill, hob or open flame, thermal shock, and abrasive scourers.
