spice box

Kitchen flavor storage

A spice box is a container with compartments for storing different spices, typically kept near the stove for cooking.

In Jewish tradition, a spice box (besamim box) holds fragrant spices used in the Havdalah ceremony marking the end of Shabbat—often ornately crafted in silver with decorative towers or other shapes.
