A ceramic bottle for olive oil, thrown and painted by hand in Spain, with a cork and a stainless-steel spout that pours in a thin line and stops clean. The clay keeps the light out, which is what oil wants. This one is Coral — blue and green run together like water.
Oil keeps better away from light, and a plastic bottle on the counter never looks like anything. This one solves both, and the spout does not drip down the side.
Made by Alfar Tierra Cocida, a small pottery in Spain, thrown and painted by hand.
We keep it beside the stove and refill it from the tin. It pours slowly enough to dress a salad without flooding it.
