What Makes It Uncommon

With a nod to the form and colors of pistachios in the shell, this two-tiered server is perfectly designed to solve the nut's perennial problem: the leftover debris that piles up in your hand, in your pocket, or in the aftermath of a party. So crack and snack away—this ingenious piece has got you covered.

  • Featuring an organically coordinated, pistachio-green rim, the upper tier holds 8 oz. of whole nuts, while the lower, broader level offers an elegant solution to stash the shells without fumbling for a makeshift discard dish.
  • Routed from solid, sustainable North American maple, hand sanded and finished with teak oil for a smooth, food-safe finish.
  • The tiers come apart for easy, tidy shell disposal.
  • Select the personalized option to add names or a message on the top tier, accompanied by a pistachio design.
  • Uncommon Exclusive: Created by our in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods.
  • Made in Dorset, Vermont.

The Uncommon Goods Product Development team identified a problem inherent to serving pistachios—the mess produced by the discarded shells—and sought a design solution that was easy to present, serve, and clean. With guidance from our team, J.K. Adams developed and produced the Pistacho Pedestal. The design enables you to serve pistachios in the shell in a convenient and attractive way that incorporates space to dispose of the shells.

The J.K. Adams Company was founded in Dorset, VT in 1944, by Josiah Adams. In 1949, the Cooper family purchased the company and has owned it ever since. In the early years, the company produced wooden drafting equipment, slide rules, and surveying equipment. The company also did contract wood manufacturing and produced products such as wooden shoe shine boxes. As technology started to replace many of these products, the company started to design and manufacture cutting boards and other housewares. Some of the houseware innovations attributed to J.K. Adams are angled knife blocks, in-drawer knife racks and numerous innovative cutting board designs. The company now employs 48 people, many of whom have been with the company for over twenty years. The company has been from it founding and remains committed to operating in an environmentally and socially responsible manner.

My dad is nuts about it

I gave this as gift to my dad for Christmas (with a cheeky personalization). He loved it so much and told me that he now goes through 2-3 pounds of pistachios every week because it's so easy and fun to have it out on the counter. Great give to give someone when you want to avoid adding to their "junk". Plus he must think of me every time he uses it!

Clever idea

This was a gift for my husband, who was putting the shells in a bowl with the uneaten pistachios. This item made so much sense and is cute to boot! He likes it a lot!

Well-made, attractive, functional!

I bought one last year for my husband, who loves pistachios and we use it several times a week. Since then, I've bought 3 more as gifts, and everyone really likes it.

Perfect for the pistachio lover

Impressed with the quality of the pistachio pedestal bowl for my pistachio-loving son! He no longer has to have two vessels to enjoy his snack with the built-in tray for the shells.

Nice gift

Half of the fun with pistachios is removing the shells but then you have a mess of half shells. The tray below the container of nuts is the answer. It's already been used.

My Wife Loves Her New Pistachio Pedestal

A Christmas Gift to my wife of the Pistachio Pedestal has been a HUGE success! Sue loves to munch on pistachios while watching TV in the evening. She has forever had to make major efforts to contain the shells, and, keep a steady supply of fresh nuts on hand throughout the evening. Now, I do not have to sweep up or crawl around picking up errant shells missed in the dark. My only suggestion would be to ENLARGE the holding tray for fresh supplies, so I can avoid running to replenish so often. Seriously, Thank You, Uncommon Gifts, for this splendid (and specially personalized) Gift for my Pistachio Loving Soulmate. She is totally enthralled!

FAQs

The Pistachio Pedestal eliminates the need for two separate bowls by featuring a two-level design: the top bowl holds unshelled pistachios while the lower tray catches the empty shells. No more mixing shells with uneaten nuts or accidentally knocking shells onto the floor. When you're done snacking, simply lift off the top piece, discard the shells from the bottom tray, and wipe clean — it comes apart in seconds.

The Pistachio Pedestal is very easy to clean because the two levels fully separate from each other. Just lift off the top bowl, dump the shells from the bottom tray, and wipe away any dust or residue. The smaller shell-catching piece fits snugly onto the larger nut bowl during use, so there's no wobbling — and it pops apart effortlessly when it's time to clean up.

Yes, the Pistachio Pedestal can be personalized with a custom engraving, making it an especially meaningful gift. Buyers have added everything from initials and sweet dedications to humorous messages for fathers, husbands, and grandparents. The engraving elevates it from a useful snack accessory to a keepsake that recipients think of every time they reach for pistachios.

The Pistachio Pedestal is designed to be a versatile, right-sized snacking vessel — not too big, not too small — making it suitable for everyday counter use as well as entertaining guests. It's comfortable to hold in your lap while watching TV and compact enough to sit on a table alongside other items at a gathering. Some heavy pistachio eaters do wish the nut bowl were larger, so if you go through pistachios very quickly you may find yourself refilling it often.

The Pistachio Pedestal is crafted and sold in the United States, which is a quality detail that buyers appreciate. It features a wood finish with a pistachio-green accent, giving it an attractive, elegant look that fits naturally on a kitchen counter or office desk. Owners consistently highlight its sturdy, well-constructed build — noting that it holds up beautifully with several uses per week over multiple years.

Customer questions

  • Athens, NY

Hi, would it be possible to order an unpainted Pistachio Pedestal? Milk paint itself may be environmentally friendly; but the dairy industry is most definitely not. Thanks and peace! Chris

Verified reply from Deniqua

Hi there! Unfortunately, this cannot be ordered sans paint.

  • Cincinnati, OH

How is this product package? Could you provide an image?

Verified reply from Melody

It comes in its own "Uncommon Collection" standard brown packaging with a sticker - it's eco-friendly packaging. While it is not fancy, it is still nice as some of the reviewers have mentioned.

  • Baltimore, MD

My husband is nuts about mixed nuts. Would this product work for mixed nuts in the shell (walnuts, cashews, brazil nuts, etc.)? Is there room to have a nut cracker and picks sticking out of the bottom portion? Or do you have another two bowl wooden product meant specifically for mixed nuts and their shells?

Verified reply from Alexis R

We're nuts about nuts too!! You can definitely fit smaller nuts like the cashews on the pedestal. As far as walnuts and other larger nuts it can probably be use for a decorative piece at that point. Consider the size of the pedestal its Top Piece: 6.5" L x 6.5" W x 1" H; Capacity: 8 oz of whole nuts. The entire Pistachio Pedestal: 9" L x 9" W x 2.2" H Doesn't really leave to much room. But you can always separate the two for more room.

  • wellington, fl

is the top anchored securely when in use, or do you have to balance the top with the bottom?

Verified reply from SiRandal

Hi! Great question. The Pistachio Pedestal doesn't require any balancing, anchoring--or worrying--to keep it secured in its place while in use. The top section fits perfectly into the lower bottom section, so you can enjoy this pedestal without going nuts!

  • New York, NY

Does the top part of the pedestal come off?

Verified reply from Michelle

Great question! The tiers come apart for easy, tidy shell disposal.

Would this dish work with in-the-shell peanuts instead of pistachios?

Verified reply from Valerie

Peanuts are quite a bit larger, but this would still work - you just wouldn't fit as many peanuts as you would pistachios.

  • Chicago

Can this be washed in the dishwasher?
