“The simplest ideas are often right under our eyes, yet we must learn to see them. Daily gestures take on new meanings, as the cap is no longer a mere accessory removed then put aside but a live object which I can use before putting back, leaving me astonished at how such a simple gesture can enliven the mood at the table”, comments Marco Acerbis.

The cap of the glass cruet incorporates a salt shaker made of transparent coloured acrylic, available in the transparent red version. The well-balanced cruet guarantees safe gripping coupled with excellent ergonomics, while its compact dimensions make it easy to store. The refined solution of the high-quality plastic cap and practical spill-proof spout make this product functionally complete and aesthetically appealing. Moreover, Matrioska produce by Fratelli Guzzini can also be used to contain vinegar and pepper.
