In times gone by, dry spices were kept in decorative wooden spice pots to keep valuable spices fresh and dry for a long time. Our spice pots are traditional shapes updated with bright colours. They are made from sheemsham wood and finished with laquer. The paint finish is food safe so if you want to reinstate their traditional use you can.
The spice pots are hand turned on a simple foot pedal lathe, as a mechanical lathe would not be able to achieve these distinctive shapes.
