Description
This is a tall stoneware storage jar with a matching lid, painted by hand in wide vertical beige stripes that carry on up and over the top. The lid rises to a point and finishes in a small round knob, which gives the whole jar the look of a striped tent. It stands 25cm tall and 15.5cm across, a generous size that holds its own on a worktop or an open shelf, and at 1.7KG it has the reassuring weight of solid stoneware.
It is approved for contact with food, so it earns a place in the kitchen as a jar for biscuits, sugar, rice, pasta or tea bags, kept close at hand on the counter. The playful shape suits a family kitchen especially well, and it is just as much at home in a child's bedroom or playroom, where it can gather up hair clips, crayons or other small treasures and keep a chest of drawers tidy. On a dresser or a bathroom shelf it works as a lidded pot for cotton pads or bath bombs. It also makes a cheerful gift for a new home, a christening or a child's birthday.
The jar is 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing material, and its surface has a glossy sheen. The lid lifts straight off, so filling, emptying and washing are simple. Care is easy too: the jar can go in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so a sticky rim after a week of biscuits is no trouble at all. We like it standing alone on a plain shelf where the pointed lid can be seen in profile, or grouped with natural wood and soft neutral linens so the beige stripes set the tone.
