Salt pig. Salt pot. Salt cellar. Salt piglet. Salt pot with wooden spoon. by BerePottery

16.00 GBP

This hand thrown salt piglet is medium sized and handy to have for cooking or at the table and comes with its own little wooden spoon. It is decorated with a colourful meadow flowers with poppies design against a turquoise blue sky and has a dark terracotta colour inside which contrasts well with the white of the salt.


Each one is hand made and painted with the flowers and foliage slightly different. This salt piglet would make an unusual gift for a gardener or country lover.

I paint my pottery with coloured slips which I mix myself from ball clay, metal oxides and ceramic stains . As well as regular sable paintbrushes I use primitive brushes which I make from splitting hazel twigs (often chewing them to achieve finer filaments!) and also use natural sponges, flowers and seed heads to apply the design.

As my designs are applied manually variations in depth of colour will occur and occasionally reveal the the rich terracotta of the clay body beneath.


Finished in a food safe clear glaze.


Dishwasher safe.

Dimensions : Ht 10 cms. dia. 10 cms
