Famiware Milkyway 16oz Ceramic Olive Oil Dispenser Bottle

This is the bottle that sits out. Between meals it keeps company with the salt pig and the pepper mill, or waits on a rack with the things you grab without thinking. The stoneware stays put when you pour one-handed. The reactive glaze means each bottle carries its own pattern of dark and pale. Empty, it goes in the dishwasher, the pack says, and comes back to its place.

If oil is mostly an ingredient in your kitchen, buy the other size. This 16 oz bottle wants the countertop. It suits the cook who pours from it daily, the one who reaches for it as often as the salt. If your oil comes out only for a recipe now and then, the smaller bottle takes up less room and never sits half empty.
