These items are generally compact — heights range from about 1.8 to 4 inches and widths from about 1.25 to 4 inches. Capacities across the selection run roughly between 2.7 fl oz and 8 fl oz, making them suitable for most countertops and tabletops.

Salt pigs are typically open or lidded containers (pinch pots, divided boxes, stacking cellars) designed for easy pinch access, larger capacities, and materials like acacia, marble, glass, or concrete. Small shakers are usually closed ceramic or stoneware novelty shapes with smaller dimensions made for shaker‑style dispensing.
