This is for the cook who considers chilli oil a table essential, not an optional extra.

Maison Balzac’s The Chilli Bottle turns that daily drizzle into a small piece of theatre. Made from 100% borosilicate glass, its clear silhouette is dotted with handcrafted glass chillies and finished with a slender, curved pouring spout. Fill it with your favourite chilli oil, then leave it within easy reach for noodles, eggs, pizza, or anything asking for a little heat.

Playful without becoming novelty, it earns its place on the table and gives guests something to talk about. A clever hostess gift for someone who likes their serveware with personality.
