Description
This storage jar is shaped like a whole lemon: the lid forms the top of the fruit, and a stem and leaf rise from it to give your fingers something to lift it by. The yellow glaze carries a fine dimpled texture that reads like real peel, so the jar is convincing even close up. It is made of 99% stoneware and 1% silicone, holds 220ml and measures 9cm across and 12cm tall, a small jar to keep within reach rather than a canister for the back of the larder. Stoneware is a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and the jar weighs 0.28KG.
At 220ml it suits the small things you reach for every day: sugar beside the kettle, honey or lemon curd on the breakfast table, flaky salt by the hob, or jam for afternoon tea. It is just as at home on an open shelf or a kitchen dresser holding teabags or a few dry spices, where the lemon shape does the decorating for you. It brings a sunny note to a cottage kitchen or a bright, modern one, and it makes a cheerful gift for a keen baker, a lemon lover or a friend setting up a first kitchen.
Part of the jar is decorated by hand, a finishing step that sits well on a piece meant to look like real fruit. Care is easy: it goes in the dishwasher, and it can also go in the microwave and the oven, so you can gently warm honey or soften butter in it without decanting. When you style it, stand it beside a bowl of real lemons or a stack of plain plates on a dresser shelf, where the yellow glaze has room to shine.
