Zero Japan Salt Pig – Ceramic with Wooden Lid
Salt deserves better than the back of a cupboard. The Zero Japan Salt Pig keeps it within reach — practical, tactile and properly made. Designed for everyday cooking, it allows you to pinch, season and adjust with ease.

Made in Japan – Clean, Functional Design
Produced by Zero Japan, known for precise ceramic work and thoughtful domestic design, this salt pig balances simplicity with utility. The glossy ceramic body is robust and easy to wipe clean, while the squared form sits neatly on a worktop without taking up unnecessary space.

Wooden Lid – Protects, Breathes, Looks Good
The ridged wooden lid helps protect the salt from kitchen splashes while allowing airflow to prevent clumping. It lifts away easily and rests securely in place — practical, minimal and warm against the smooth ceramic.

Built for the Worktop
The integrated handle makes it easy to move from prep area to stove. Keep it beside your board while cooking or on the table for finishing dishes. Functional enough for daily use, considered enough to leave out permanently.

Why We Like It
Proper Japanese ceramic. Compact footprint. Thoughtful details. No over-design. Just a well-made salt keeper that earns its place in the kitchen.

All knives ship via an age verified service in accordance with The Offensive Weapons Act 2019, which will mean the postie will need you to be in to receive the delivery & to check your ID if you look under 25.
The law also requires us to carry out a soft age check of the purchaser after checkout, this is done by an automated system that usually doesn't require your input, although we will need to contact you for proof of age if you fail, which can sometimes happen if you use a work address.
