Large Acorn Ceramic Storage Jar with Twig Knob Lid - White

This white ceramic storage jar takes the shape of an acorn, with a deeply textured cap for a lid and a little twig of a knob on top to lift it by. The body is ceramic in a soft white glaze, scored with fine vertical lines that echo the grain of a real acorn. The cap is dimpled all over with small rounded hollows where the glaze gathers and catches the light. The knob is a warm taupe and stands out against the white like a real stalk. The jar stands 16cm tall and 13cm across, a size that sits comfortably on a shelf or worktop without crowding it.

Being a lidded jar, it suits any spot where small things gather and need a tidy home. On a kitchen worktop or open shelf it brings a gentle woodland note beside plain white crockery. On a dressing table it can hold cotton pads, hair bobbles or rings, and in a hallway it keeps keys and loose change together. The white glaze sits happily with pale wood, sage greens and natural linen. The acorn design feels right in the colder months and looks just as good all year round.

The lid lifts away fully and sits neatly back on the rim, and the twig knob gives an easy grip. The glazed ceramic is simple to look after: wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft one. Handle it with the care any ceramic deserves, since a knock on a hard floor can chip it. At 16cm tall it slips under most wall cupboards, and its round 13cm footprint takes up little room. Set it alone on a windowsill, or group it with other white pieces and a few pine cones for an easy seasonal display. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves a natural, rustic look.
