Description
This large ginger jar is a decorative accessory made from ceramic with a chrome finish, giving it a bright mirror-like sheen in silver. The classic ginger jar form has a rounded body that tapers to a narrow neck, topped with a domed fitted lid. Standing 36cm tall and measuring 18cm across, it has the height and presence to anchor a shelf, sideboard or console without crowding the space around it.
The reflective silver surface catches the light and works well against both pale and darker backdrops. Set it as a single piece on a mantelpiece, or pair it with a smaller jar or a stack of books for an arranged look. It sits comfortably in a hallway to greet guests, on a dining sideboard alongside candles, or in a living room where the chrome finish picks up on metallic accents in cushions, frames and lamps. As a purely decorative accessory it needs no styling beyond its own shape, though a trailing stem or a few faux blooms in a nearby vase complement it nicely.
The ceramic body is solid and gives the jar a reassuring weight, so it stays put once positioned. The chrome finish wipes clean with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, which can dull the shine. Keep it away from the edges of high-traffic surfaces to protect the lid, and lift rather than drag it when moving. With minimal care it holds its lustre among your other decorative accessories for years.

Frequently Asked
What is the jar made from?
It is made from ceramic with a chrome finish, so it has the weight and solidity of ceramic beneath a bright reflective silver surface.
Does the lid come off?
Yes, the domed lid is a separate fitted piece that lifts away, though the jar is intended as a decorative accessory rather than for storage.
Where does it look best?
Try it on a sideboard, console or mantelpiece where its 36cm height reads clearly. It pairs well with books, candles or a smaller jar for a layered display.
Will it suit a narrow shelf?
At 18cm across it needs a surface a little deeper than that to sit safely, so a shelf of at least 20cm depth is best.
How do I keep it clean?
Wipe the chrome finish with a soft dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners, which can scratch and dull the shine.
