retro japanes cruet set

Most people don’t even know what I am…

I used to be useful, a flat-bottomed spout-stoppered vessel to hold liquid condiments such as olive oil and balsamic vinegar. I am not, as some think, a salt and pepper set, though sometimes they do hang round.

Derived from the french word crue meaning ‘earthen pot’
First culinary use in the late 17th century.

Before you top your self or end up in a dumpster consider your options:

a] A quieter, decorative life on the shelf

c] Perk yourself up and get back to work. You are still in great shape.

Still so hot right now.

Just looking at these warms me up. Bring on summer, Sydney. I’m ready.

trivet pursuits: I finally found my resin signature icons [observe the masthead] frustratingly unfindable in storage for like, ever.

So hot. So cool. Love the colour, the material, the typography, the words. I am kitchen nerd.
Never for sale. Happy to hire. Orange you glad?
