The Pinch Pot features two stackable condiment containers, making it ideal for storing salt, pepper or other seasonings side by side. The Pinch Pot is hand-crafted using traditional techniques in the Indian town of Channapatna - an area known for producing colourful children's toys, evident in the playful form and hues of our TIPU collection.
A natural resin called lac is pressed onto the wood while the heat and friction from the lathe melts the lac, allowing it to adhere beautifully. The glossy orange, yellow and green finish is derived naturally from turmeric, manjistha and indigo, then polished with screwpine, a locally found fibrous leaf, to achieve a glossy finish.
The collection utilises a closed-loop craft ecosystem that has been active for over two centuries, and all materials are locally sourced from regenerative trees. Each Double Pinch Pot has a vibrant orange, yellow and green body with an indigo ring on the lid.
