Ajori Cruet: Work of Art

By Nogarlicnoonions @nogarlicnoonion

As we all know, Garlic is not one of my favorite things in the world, but one can’t deny that this Ajori Cruet, inspired by the elegant shape the garlic clove is worth highlighting. The Ajori Cruet is a perfect shape for a holder of spices, seasonings and dressings.


This dining table accessory is created photoAlquimia, Pilar Balsalobre and Carlos Jimenez.

“We observe, peel and cut several bulbs of purple garlic. We were impressed by the elegance of lines that define the form of each piece, the peculiar texture of his skin, his diversity of forms. In front of our eyes appeared a set of containers arranged on a tray, about a stem or handle. Between the diverse offers of design that we wanted to propose, this one was showing with total clarity the functionality that we were looking for: a cruet with form of garlic.”

The base of the Ajori Cruet comprises a dimpled platter that fits the collection of bulbous pieces and a wooden core that extends upwards gracefully as a handle.

A stylish and elegant work of art inspired by nature where you can fill it with olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in the kitchen and carry it over to the table.
