Description
Our Gina storage jar is a little gingerbread house in hand-painted stoneware, made for the Christmas kitchen. The brown walls carry piped, icing-style detail across the front and sides: arched windows with wavy sills, a front door hung with a wreath, and swags of tiny dots under the eaves. The lid is the roof, a pointed cone traced with wavy lines and topped with a round knob that is easy to grip. It stands 23cm tall and 16cm across and holds 1150ml, so there is room for a proper batch of home-made biscuits rather than a handful.
The maker lists it for food use, so it can sit on the kitchen counter as a biscuit jar through December, or on the sideboard as a sweet jar when friends come round for mince pies. Fill it with gingerbread men, fudge or chocolate coins for the Christmas Eve table, or leave it by the kettle for whoever is passing. At 1.61KG it has a reassuring heft on the counter. It suits anyone who loves a festive kitchen, and it makes a thoughtful present for a host or the baker in the family.
The jar is 99% stoneware with 1% silicone, and its decoration is painted by hand rather than printed. It does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so wash it by hand and let it dry fully before you refill it; think of it as a storage jar, not a baking dish. Stoneware is a dense, sturdy material, which suits a jar that will be opened many times over the holidays. For styling, set it on a wooden board beside a bowl of clementines and a sprig of greenery, or give it a spot on an open kitchen shelf where its little front door faces the room.
