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 Originals: Created by our in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods.
  • Made in Dorset, Vermont.

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.

nice looking, but hard to reach pistachio under pedestal

Received as a gift, nice looking, but hard to reach pistachio under the pedestal. The are underneath the pedistal which is not high enough to be able to access the nuts. Not very functional

Response from merchant

Thanks for your feedback! It sounds like there may be some confusion about how to use the Pistachio Pedestal. The whole, unopened pistachios should be placed in the top tier. While the lower, broader level provides a convenient spot to discard the shells—no need for a separate dish! Plus, the tiers come apart for easy disposal of the shells. We hope this helps, but feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!"

Gift recipient was excited to receive this

I sent this as a gift. It's a good size and the family enjoys their pistachios! Maybe the product maker can make a darker version. Without the green? The green happens to work well in my case.

A great gift

I received this pistachio pedestal from my daughter a few years ago and have loved using it. It does a great job in holding nuts in their shells on the top and shells on the bottom. It comes apart in a second for dumping shells. When a good friend who loves pistachios saw it, I knew I had to give it to her and she loves it also. Inspired, I gave these pedastals to my siblings this Christmas and everyone loves this gift.

I would buy again

I bought my entire family one a few years ago and they loved it. I took mine to a party and the hostess liked it so much I gave it to her. Well I needed to replace the one I gave away so now I am happy to have this one. Great gift.

ELEGANCE & CONVENIENCE: THE PISTACHIO PEDESTAL

The Pistachio Pedestal is both elegant and convenient. Before I purchased it, I would have a container for the unopened pistachios and another container for the shells. That was both messy and inconvenient. Often shells ended up on the floor. With the Pistachio Pedestal, no mess, no inconvenience, just elegance! I can use it for myself and I can also use it when I have guests.

Just what I hoped for!

I purchased this pedestal for my pistachio-loving father's birthday. I chose a sweet inscription to be engraved, and this was everything I hoped it'd be! It's high time quality, nice to look at, and just the right size for a snack tray of pistachios. It's perfect for a party or even just to set out at your house for impromptu snacking. The only thing I would say is order this well in advance of when you want it. This took 3-4 weeks to finally reach me, but it was worth the wait! #sweepstakes

Great Gift

I bought this as a gift for my husband. He put it in his office so he can snack on pistachios and empty the shells at the end of the day. Great size and looks great.

My husband loves this gift!

My husband eats pistachios regularly, so this gift with his initials engraved on it was a natural. It came quickly and he appreciates the quality, and it even looks nice sitting on the counter with my little plant on it between uses!

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.
