This is for the host who believes olive oil deserves a place at the table, not in a cupboard.

Maison Balzac’s The Olive Bottle turns an everyday pour into a small bit of theatre, with plump green olives set across its clear glass body. Made from 100% borosilicate glass, it stands 24cm tall and holds approximately 550ml, a generous size for long lunches and pasta-heavy dinners. The slender pouring spout keeps the silhouette polished, while the olive details add just enough wit.

Leave it out between meals, then bring it straight to the table when the bread arrives. A charming hostess gift for someone who serves with flair.
