Description
Puk is a grey stoneware storage jar shaped as a sleeping bear, and the bear's head is the lid. Its eyes are closed, its little nose and smiling mouth sit on a raised muzzle, and two rounded ears stand up from the crown. The body has a softly rippled, uneven surface, so the bear looks cosy and a little rumpled rather than smooth. It holds 440ml, measures 10cm across and 15cm tall, and weighs 0.662KG: a small jar for treats or keepsakes, not a kitchen canister for flour or pasta.
We class it with children's tableware, and the maker confirms it is food safe, so it can hold sweets, raisins, small biscuits or crackers for a child to help themselves to at snack time. It sits as happily on a kitchen worktop or a breakfast table as on a bookshelf or chest of drawers in a nursery or child's bedroom, where it works just as well for hair clips, crayons, pocket money and other small treasures. Its modest height suits a low shelf or a windowsill, and the sleepy face makes it a gentle gift for a new baby or a birthday.
The jar and its lid are both stoneware, a dense, hard-fired material that feels reassuringly solid in the hand. Underneath, the lid has a ridged collar that drops inside the rim of the jar and holds the head in place, and the wide opening lets small hands reach right in. The rippled surface carries a soft sheen that catches the light. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, set it on a low shelf beside picture books and wooden toys, so the sleeping bear sits at a child's eye level and invites a peek inside.

It is made of 100% stoneware, the jar and the bear's-head lid alike, which gives it a solid feel at 0.662KG.

How big is it and how much does it hold?
It is 10cm across and 15cm tall and holds 440ml, so it is a small jar for treats, hair clips or keepsakes rather than kitchen staples.
