Budget Finds: Porcelain Sauce Pots

Working in Midtown, it didn't take long for me to discover the wonder that is Muji. Muji is a Japanese home store that specializes in minimalist-styled items--the name means "no brand" in Japanese, and the concept is that no piece should bear any signs of its brand. As such, most of the pieces feature clean, modern lines and come in white (and only white). Furnishing a house in all Muji would be a little much, but hints of modern white here and there make me a very happy person.

Another thing that makes me happy is the interplay between food and decor--the way that food can be styled in the same way that an apartment can be, and the endless aesthetic choices that can be made when it comes to proper dishes and serveware. Hence, this little sauce pot, a perfect Muji find. Use it for its intended purpose of soy sauce, or change it up fill it with chocolate-raspberry sauce to drizzle over individual portions of dessert.
You can't deny that these little pots are simply adorable--they'd add something really special to any dish they were accenting. And best of all, they're less than 10 bucks apiece right here.
