Centered Ceramics specializes in salt covenants for use in wedding ceremonies. They also make great wedding and anniversary gifts. Salt covenants are a unique alternative to unity candles; they originate from ancient times, when agreements and promises were sealed by a ritual called a salt covenant. Each person would take a pinch of salt from his own pouch and then place it in the pouch of the other. Centered Ceramics makes these raku-fired salt eggs for wedding ceremonies, and after the special day, they can be used daily as a salt cellar in the kitchen.
