Description
Our Stefano storage jar is a round stoneware canister with a lid, holding 1800ml and standing 16cm across and 16cm tall. Its multicoloured printed finish is the reason to choose it: an oval label reading Tomato, with Mediterranean Taste lettered beneath, sits against fine vertical stripes, and a chequered band runs around the base like the trim on an old grocer's tin. A half-round knob on top of the lid is easy to grip. Being as wide as it is tall, it takes up only a modest patch of worktop for a jar that holds this much.
The jar is food safe, so it can hold the dry goods you reach for most: dried pasta, rice, sugar, coffee beans or a stash of breadsticks. The Tomato label makes it a natural home for pasta beside the hob, and the pattern brings a cheerful trattoria feel to a plain kitchen. It suits anyone who likes their storage out on show rather than hidden in a cupboard, and it sits happily on an open shelf, a dresser or a breakfast bar. It would also make a thoughtful present for someone who loves Mediterranean cooking.
The jar is 99% stoneware, with a silicone band fitted to the lid making up the remaining 1%. Stoneware is dense and hard-wearing, and at 1.7KG the jar has a reassuring weight on the counter. It is not dishwasher, microwave or oven safe, so wash it by hand and keep it out of the microwave and the oven. The maker's care note asks you to remove the silicone band from the lid before cleaning, so ease it off, wash the lid and jar, then fit the band back in place. For styling, pair it with a wooden chopping board and a bottle of olive oil, or give it a shelf of its own with the label facing the room.
