Spice tin 'Conca'

Probably the most beautiful salt can in the world I had the pleasure to introduce to you several times. Now the noble alabaster container has been extended by another piece of jewellery from the Atelier Volvox.

The spice tin Conca is also made of magical alabaster. A long time ago, alabaster was formed by the evaporation of salty water from seas that had retreated. Today it can be found as zentner-sized 'eggs' at depths of up to 300 metres, embedded in gypsum.

In addition to the amber-coloured ones, the transparent and snow-white variants of alabaster with their matt, porous surfaces are still reminiscent of their salty origins.

The spice box was produced in a craft workshop in Tuscany, in a town where alabaster has been mined and processed for centuries. The shell is closed by a concave turned maple shell.
