Burette à huile en grès noir mat à bouchon de liège

Key measurements for finding the right location:

• Spout to handle width: 18 cm
• Diameter: 11.5 cm
• Height: 16.5 cm

Everything you need to know about the material:

• Material: Fully matte black glazed stoneware
• Cork stopper included
• Straight, long tubular spout, set low on the body
• Arched handle attached to the neck, unglazed base with a red clay rim
• Height 16.5 cm, 18 cm from spout to handle
• Hand wash, as requested by the supplier

Such a long tubular spout gives this object the appearance of an indoor watering can, distinctly graphic, which contrasts with the usual roundness of oil cans. On a light-coloured countertop, the silhouette stands out like a shadow puppet, and it is the piece in the set that is most noticeable from a distance.

What you need to know for installation and maintenance:

• Pass a thin swab through the spout once a month
• A greasy deposit in the tube gives a rancid taste to the next oil
• Completely empty the spout before putting the oiler back
• Hand wash and handle with care, as per supplier's instructions
