Three round dishes sit at the foot of a slender cast-iron palm tree; slip your index and middle fingers under its “leaves” and the whole stand lifts to the table. Morrison was inspired by three little dishes of spices served at lunch in an Iwate restaurant. Oigen sand-casts the palm and the dishes as separate pieces and fits the square base of the trunk into the dishes so it stands firm. It is H 5.25 in × Ø 5 in and weighs 270 g, with a cashew-lacquer finish for Nanbu ironware. Fill it with salt, pepper and chili flakes, or small jars of jam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oigen (Oshu, Iwate, Japan; founded 1852)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Palma spice container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jasper Morrison\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Table spice stand: three dishes on a palm-tree handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 5.25 in × Ø 5 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 270 g (9.5 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cast iron (Nanbu ironware) with a cashew-lacquer finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem number (MPN):\u003c\/strong\u003e OF-JM006\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Jasper Morrison for Oigen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree spice dishes on a palm-tree handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift it with two fingers under the leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSand-cast Nanbu cast iron, cashew-lacquer finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eH 5.25 in × Ø 5 in; 270 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalt, pepper and chili flakes on the dining table; condiments for ramen or rice bowls; small jam jars at breakfast; a design gift for cooks and Morrison fans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this is not for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe dishwasher: cast iron is washed by hand and dried.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamp storage: keep it dry to prevent rust.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone wanting lidded spice storage: the dishes are open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we carry it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and Japanese craft objects like this one earn their place by being used every day. Oigen has cast Nanbu ironware in Oshu, Iwate, since 1852. After the 2011 earthquake hit the foundry, it was chosen for the first Japan Creative project, which pairs Japanese manufacturers with international designers; the result was the Palma series with Jasper Morrison, launched at the Milan furniture fair in 2012. Jasper Morrison, the British product designer behind the “super normal” philosophy of quiet, useful design, drew the Palma series for Oigen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuy once: durability and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand wash with hot water, using soap sparingly if needed; do not soak.
