Description
This is a small lidded storage jar made from mango wood in a natural brown, with a round ring handle rising from the centre of its lid. It holds 250ml and stands 9cm across and 15.5cm tall, which makes it a worktop jar rather than a larder canister: the right size for the salt, sugar or loose tea you dip into every day. Mango wood has a lively, open grain that varies from tree to tree, and on this jar it runs in darker and lighter bands around the body, so no two will look quite the same.
The maker lists it as food safe, so it belongs in the kitchen first: beside the kettle for tea bags, by the hob for flaky salt you take by the pinch, or on a tea tray for sugar at the table. The lid sits flat on top and lifts away by its ring, so it is easy to open with one hand while the other holds a spoon. Out of the kitchen, the same jar makes a tidy lidded home for hair ties and clips on a dressing table or paper clips on a desk. It suits anyone who wants wood on the worktop instead of glass or ceramic.
The mango wood is lacquered rather than left raw, and the lid and body are both wood, ring handle included. It is not dishwasher, microwave or oven safe, so this is a jar to wash by hand and keep on the worktop, never in the oven or the microwave. At 0.25KG it is light enough to lift down from a shelf without a thought. For styling, give it natural textures for company: stand it beside a marble board or a stoneware cup, or place two side by side on an open shelf so the different grain on each shows.
