I forgot the name in English, but ceramic once cooked is very porous and rough, but usually you apply a layer of varnish to make it smooth and waterproof. I read somewhere that the interior of a salt pig is meant to not have that coating of varnish because then the ceramic can absorb the humidity from the salt and prevent it from clumping up.
All of that being said, I might be overthinking a simple storage for salt.
Ah, yeah! The one you mentioned is so lacks a finish on the inside. It makes sense that keeping the surface partially porous can keep your salt from accumulating moisture.
Personally, I haven’t noticed any crunchy salt on the top of my fully glazed ceramic but I do use it daily. I’ll be way more perceptive of it now, thank you!
