Aurum Brass Salt Cellar

Salt has been doing the same job for thousands of years, it's finally getting some decent accommodations.

The Aurum Salt Cellar from The Collective Home gives one of the kitchen's most ordinary ingredients a rather spectacular place to live. Handcrafted from brass with a smooth, polished finish, its rounded, almost spherical shape has a satisfying weight and a warm golden glow that looks particularly good sitting beside the stove. The open design keeps your favorite sea salt, flaky finishing salt, or everyday seasoning within easy reach, while the sculptural form gives the whole countertop a little more personality. It's a pleasingly extravagant solution to a very practical problem, and a reminder that even the smallest kitchen rituals can benefit from an unreasonable amount of good design.
