Is the base of this salt shaker GLASS?

The base is plastic. Thick and durable. One of the best salt shakers I've had. The pour spout is so nice instead of having to take off the top.

I believe the base is plastic. Its hard to tell its difference from glass. I am pleased with quality this shaker and bought it becuase of the spout, which is a handy feature.

This salt shaker is plastic. It -looks- like glass, because it's a really good, clear material. However, if you look closely at the bottom 1/16" of the base, you can see (and feel) the seam where they joined the two pieces of plastic together.

I have run the glass and the metal part of the shaker through the dishwasher without any issues. I am very pleased with this item.

I wouldn't recommend it, at least for the base. Water somehow got stuck in what I believe was the handle so each time you shake it, water swishes around. Because I hand wash it, this mug has been with me for 7+ years

YES. I did not use the shaker thing at all and they seem to fit fine. I did tighten only one too tight and cracked the plastic. That was my fault. The rest are fine and I LOVE having them all the same! They are better than I had before with dozens of different size containers! :-)

Yes, the glass sit on top of the base. It's very stable because the glass is very sturdy, thick and heavy.

The base is very solid & doesn't seem like it would fall over easily. The glass itself is fairly thin but doesn't feel "delicate" if that makes sense. We use the glass almost daily and it has held up well.

No, it is dry and coarse grain. It goes really well in the salt grinder I made.

Yes. Excellent piece of glass. Been 6 months now and looks beautiful. Extremely happy with this purchase.

No it's just a glass, but if you lightly tap the glass into the shaker and just start shaking it creates a vacuum inside. It's a good seal. You usually have to hit the side it to break the seal. I'm no bartender, but I think most bartenders do this all the time.

It's been a while since I purchased mine, but I'm pretty sure it is. Table salt wouldn't need a grinder anyway!

yes! It's a wonderful salt box. Just the right size, the lid closes nicely. I have another salt box made of different wood, a slightly different design and I like this one better. You'll love it.

Salt shaker fills from the bottom.By the way, I was VERY happy with these shakers at first but the pepper mill quickly became problematic and does not work well.

It is not fine grained, but not coarse grained, it doesn't need to be ground, it will go through a salt shaker.

The salt shaker in my opinion isn't very good. There are few holes, and the salt always gets stuck between the removeable top and the shaker itself. I still use the grinder, but not the shaker.

Good question & I apologize as I should have mentioned it. It's a powder and it shakes out. The powder feels a little slippery, as it has proplyne glycol, silica & oils in it. Be careful, as it has really big holes in the shaker and too much can come out at the same time. It has a star-shaped pattern of holes (pretty cool). I'll post a pic.

The base is the same size as a drinking glass. It fits nicely in a car cup holder.
