I have been looking for a really good salt cellar for a number of years. I was skeptical of this only because the price seemed so low. After receiving the first two, I ended up ordering four more to use as gifts. They are beautifully made, sturdy and did not absorb odors from the garlic powder I put in one. A beautiful addition to my countertop! I highly recommend these Ironwood Gourmet Salt Cellars.
