Silly, I know, but it made me laugh - the "Saltside Out" salt shaker. Thanks to Technabob for this one:A clever handblown glass design by Jason Amendolara puts a glass void where the salt shaker would normally go, and the salt in the glass cylinder on the outside of the shaker.You can buy these babies on Neatorama.com for $13.95.
For those who like detail, it is made from handblown borosilicate glass
with silicone stopper, is 3.75in tall by 2in diameter, and was designed
by one Jason Amendolara. Like it!I notice they also sell a "Calf & Half Creamer" (see right), but it doesn't quite do it, for me.

Excellent, Steve! Another reader, Panda, also flagged Klein bottles - worthy of an entry of their own, I reckon. Cheers!
