Product Insights
This small salt cellar from Simons Maison is crafted from natural unsealed stone with a matching lid, offering authentic coolness and a porous texture prized by cooks. Its fully removable lid reveals a 2.75-inch opening for easy two-finger pinching, and the lid seals completely to protect salt from moisture and dust. At $18, it provides a 30% narrower footprint than pewter cellars, but requires hand-washing only to preserve its properties and includes no spoon.
Verified claims
- Stone design
- Natural unsealed stone with a matte, honed finish in shades of grey with subtle beige variation; the matching removable stone lid gives a full-stone look, unlike wood-lid competitors.
- Ergonomics
- Fully removable lid exposes entire 2.75-inch opening for an easy two-finger pinch.
- Hand-wash care
- Hand-wash-only preserves the stone's natural coolness and porosity prized by cooks.
- Value
- At $18, unsealed stone offers authentic coolness and a 30% narrower footprint than pewter cellars.
- Cleaning
- Hand-wash only; after washing, rinse thoroughly to prevent soap film buildup that can dull the stone's finish.
- Stone finish
- Natural stone is unsealed; hand-wash only preserves its cool, porous texture.
- Pinch design
- Designed for finger-pinch salt use; no spoon included.
- Capacity
- 2.75-inch diameter x 2.25-inch height; holds 0.5 to 0.75 cups.
- Capacity
- The cylindrical cavity holds roughly 0.5 to 0.75 cups of salt by volume, or about 3–5 ounces by weight for flaky sea salts like Maldon, enough to season several meals before refilling.
- Moisture protection
- The flush-fitting stone lid closes the interior off from kitchen steam, and keeping the lid on between uses is the key factor for controlling moisture and clumping in a humid kitchen.
- Footprint comparison
- At 2.75 inches in diameter by 2.25 inches high, this cellar is about 30% narrower than the Match Pewter Wood Salt Cellar (4 inches by 2.75 inches), so it occupies less than half the tabletop area.
- Natural stone variation
- Because it is genuine natural stone, the grey tone and veining vary from piece to piece; no two pieces look identical and they will not exactly match the photo.

The carved-stone design comes in shades of grey with a matte, slightly textured finish and a matching removable round lid that sits flush on top, measuring about 2.75 inches (7 cm) in diameter by 2.25 inches (6 cm) high. Note it is hand-wash only, and matching pieces are sold separately.[1,2,3] | Summer Pattern Salt Cellar: Choose this if you want a decorative ceramic salt cellar for salt, spices or other bulk seasonings: it is a glossy cream-colored jar (3.5 inches in diameter by 3 inches high) with small painted floral motifs and a contrasting removable olive-green domed lid with a knob. Matching pieces are sold separately if you want to build out the look. Note that it is hand-wash only, so it suits buyers who don't mind skipping the dishwasher.[4,5,6] | Small Wood And Porcelain Salt Cellar: Choose this if you want a pretty lidded cellar for salt, spices, and other bulk seasonings: it's a round, fluted white porcelain bowl with a diagonal divider creating two compartments, a natural wooden lid with a spoon-shaped recess, and a small wooden spoon included. It measures 4.25 inches (11 cm) in diameter by 2.25 inches (6 cm) high, in a one-size format. Note that the wooden lid is hand-wash only, which matters if you prefer fully dishwasher-safe pieces.[7,8,9] |
