Description
This is a stoneware storage jar with a lid shaped like the top of a circus tent. It is finished with broad vertical green stripes painted by hand and crowned with a round knob to lift it by. The stripes carry on from the jar up over the lid to its point, so with the lid on it reads as one striped tent. It stands 25cm tall and 15.5cm across, holds 1150ml and weighs 1.66KG, so it sits solidly on a worktop or shelf.
Because the maker lists it as suitable for food, it is a proper kitchen jar as well as a pretty one. At 1150ml it is a generous size for biscuits, sweets, pasta, rice or coffee beans. It is just as at home on a dresser or an open shelf as tucked beside the kettle. The playful shape makes it a cheerful jar for treats on a family kitchen counter. It is a good choice for a child's room too, as a place to keep crayons or hair clips, and a thoughtful gift for anyone setting up a new kitchen or who simply likes a bit of colour about the house.
The jar and its lid are made entirely of stoneware and painted by hand. The stripes have the soft, slightly uneven edges that come from a brush, so the depth of colour varies a little from one jar to the next. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and this jar goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so looking after it takes no special care. The lid lifts off by its round knob. For styling, give it room to stand on its own: one jar on a bare shelf or at the end of a counter shows off the tent shape far better than a crowded row.
