Collection: Shakers & Seasoning Pots

Wooden seasoning pots, such as the Bea Acacia and Bergen Pinch Pots, should be cleaned gently by hand to avoid damaging the natural wood finish. Avoid soaking them in water to prevent warping and cracking. After washing, dry immediately and occasionally treat with food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood hydrated and looking its best. Proper care ensures your wooden seasoning pots remain durable and attractive for years.

Porcelain salt and pepper shakers, like the Marsali, Julie, and Maeve sets, are popular for their classic look and durability. Unlike plastic, porcelain is sturdy and doesn’t absorb odours or stains. They are also less likely to rust compared to some metal options. Porcelain shakers are easy to clean and bring a clean, elegant aesthetic to the dining table, making them well-suited for both everyday use and formal occasions.

Pinch pots are small open containers typically made from wood or ceramic used to hold loose seasonings like salt or pepper. Unlike traditional shakers with holes, pinch pots allow you to pinch or spoon out seasoning, giving you more control over how much you use. They are perfect for coarse salts or freshly ground pepper where a shaker may not work well. Bergen Salt and Pepper Wood Pinch Pots are a good example, combining rustic style with practicality.

Yes, seasoning pots and shakers can hold a variety of spices, herbs, and blends like chili flakes, dried oregano, or mixed seasoning salts. Double compartment pots are especially handy if you want to keep two complementary seasonings together, while single shakers or pinch pots are versatile for any ground or coarse spice. It’s important to clean the containers thoroughly if you change spices to avoid flavour mixing.
