Hirota Heritage Glass Soy Sauce Dispenser — Small Octagon
Hirota Glass has been making glass in Tokyo since 1899. The workshop still reissues shapes from its own historical catalogue, keeping older forms in circulation for the table. This octagonal dispenser is one of those reissues.
An octagonal form, one of three shapes in Hirota's small dispenser line. Its eight flat facets catch light differently as the bottle turns on the table. At 50 ml, the small size opens quiet possibilities: a single condiment at each place setting, a lineup of shapes across the table, or a smaller pour for something used sparingly.
Small doesn't mean simple. The ground-glass stopper's lip catches stray drops and returns them to the body, so nothing puddles on the tabletop. The whole bottle is two pieces of glass, held closed by the fit of the ground-glass itself. No plastic gasket, no metal cap, no screws. When it's time to wash, the two pieces come apart in seconds.
