Description
This is a lidded storage jar in cream stoneware, with a round, almost globe-shaped body and a domed lid topped by a small sculpted bird that doubles as the handle. Around the body sits a scatter of little motifs, among them a pear, a lemon, a mushroom, a sun, a rainbow, a cloud and a bee, each slightly raised from the glaze. It stands 15cm tall, measures 12cm across and holds 590ml, which makes it a compact jar for a counter or a shelf rather than a large canister. At 0.612KG it is easy to lift down with one hand.
It is approved for food, so in the kitchen it makes a handy jar for sugar beside the kettle, tea bags, or a stash of biscuits and sweets within reach. The cheerful motifs and the bird on top also make it, to our eye, a natural fit for a child's room or a nursery shelf, where it can keep hair clips, crayons or little treasures in one place. On a bathroom shelf it would hold cotton pads or hair ties just as happily. It suits anyone who likes a kitchen or playroom with a little character, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a housewarming or a young family.
The jar is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and has a glossy finish. It can go in the dishwasher, which makes it simple to wash between refills, but it is not suitable for the microwave or the oven, so warm or bake anything in another dish. When you lift the lid, the little bird gives you something to hold. For styling, we like it on an open shelf or a kitchen counter with a few plain pieces around it, so the motifs have room to show.
