Description
This cabbage storage jar is shaped as a whole head of cabbage, with broad, overlapping leaves rising around its sides and curling over at a wavy rim. Each leaf is moulded in relief, with raised veins and a softly dimpled texture. The lid is a cabbage top in its own right, domed and veined, and finished with a little stalk that makes a handy knob for lifting it off. It is made from stoneware, a ceramic, with a glazed finish in a fresh apple green with a soft shine. The jar is round, 14.7cm tall, 17cm wide and 16.7cm deep, so it sits neatly on a worktop or shelf without crowding it.
In the kitchen it brings a cheerful garden note to a worktop, a dresser shelf or an open cupboard, and its lid keeps whatever you tuck inside out of sight. It suits a country or farmhouse kitchen. Away from the kitchen, it works as a lidded pot for cotton wool on a bathroom shelf, for keys and loose change by the back door, or for odds and ends on a desk or windowsill. Because it is round and freestanding, it simply sits where you put it, with nothing to hang or fix.
The glazed stoneware has a smooth, glossy surface over the moulded leaves, and the green runs evenly from the rim down to the base. Care is simple: dust with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it inside and out with a damp cloth and dry it before replacing the lid. Take a little care around the curling leaf edges. For styling, it looks charming alongside wooden boards, terracotta pots and fresh herbs, or beside other green and cream pieces on an open shelf. Filled with something small or given as it is, it makes a cheerful and practical gift.
