ATELIER VOLVOX
SALIERA - white
Salt storage with spoon
Long ago, alabaster was formed from the evaporation of salty water from seas that had passed. Today it lies embedded in plaster as "eggs" weighing several pounds at a depth of up to 300 meters. The deposition processes that took place millions of years ago are visible as stripes in the brownish alabaster. The transparent, snow-white variant with its matt, porous surfaces is reminiscent of the salty origin of alabaster.
The Saliera is made in a craft workshop in Tuscany, where alabaster has been found and processed for centuries.
The hand-flattering spoon bowl made of maple wood is hand-turned in the nearby southern Black Forest.
