Hasami Salt Stack Natural
$54.50
Description:
The Hasami Porcelain Salt Stack combines three modular pieces: the HP007 bowl in natural, HP001 small plate/lid in natural, and HP022 lid in ash wood. Designed to stack vertically, the set organizes frequently used seasonings in a compact footprint on the kitchen counter or dining table. The larger container accommodates kosher salt, while the smaller holds sea salt flakes, with each tier easily lifted off for convenient access while cooking or finishing a dish. Though conceived for these two types of salt, the stack can also hold other seasonings you prefer to keep close at hand. The Ash Lid provides a clean closure, bringing the individual ceramic pieces together in an integrated, modular system. Enamel scoop sold separately.
Measurements:
ø 3.3/8" x 2.1/8"

History:
HASAMI PORCELAIN is made in the historic town of Hasami, located in Nagasaki prefecture, Japan. Taku Shinomoto lives in Venice Beach, California but originally moved to the United States from Tokyo, Japan where he worked as a furniture designer for a Japanese design company called Idee. Since then he has designed HASAMI PORCELAIN, a brass line called S/N, as well as other products in Japan. Currently, he continues to design furniture in Los Angeles - most recently couches, side tables, book cases and dining table sets.
Materials:
Clay and porcelain mixture made of crushed stone.
Variation:
No two pieces are exactly alike. Due to the organic nature of this type of porcelainware, there are unavoidable variations, color unevenness, and what Hasami craftspeople call "staining" in the appearance of all HASAMI PORCELAIN products. These variations are the result of uncontrollable chemical reactions between the glaze and the raw materials during the extreme firing process when producing HASAMI PORCELAIN. Difference in color and texture is not considered second quality, nor is it considered defective or avoidable amongst the Hasami craftsmen community. Before purchasing, please read and look at photographs showing the unique traits of HASAMI PORCELAIN by jumping to: Every Piece Unique - Common Variations and Recommended Care Instructions for HASAMI PORCELAIN
Care Instructions:
Dishwasher safe. Microwave safe (except for the strainer). Not oven safe. Not safe to place over a flame. When you stack your pieces, please be mindful of not crashing pieces together to cause fractures. Staining and changing of color will naturally occur over time as ceramic is a natural material. This type of aging and patina is to be cherished, and does not mean that the piece is dirty or unsafe.
