Description
This little ceramic storage jar carries one of Winnie-the-Pooh's sunniest wishes across its front: 'May today be sweeter than a smackerel of hunny.' The words are set in dark brown lettering on a speckled stone glaze, signed 'Winnie-the-Pooh' beneath. On the back, a small line drawing shows Pooh with his head buried in a pot. A mustard-yellow band wraps around the lower part of the jar above a bare clay foot, and a natural cork lid sits in the opening beneath its rounded shoulders. It stands 10cm tall, 9.5cm wide and 9cm deep, so it fits easily in one hand.
Small as it is, the jar earns its place almost anywhere in the home. Set it on a bedside table, a dressing table, a desk or a bookshelf to gather the little things that otherwise wander off, such as hair clips, rings, paper clips or a spare key. The quote faces into the room, so it reads as a cheerful ornament as well as a practical place to keep things. The sketch on the back means it looks just as charming turned the other way round. Its warm stone, mustard and cork tones sit happily beside natural wood, linen and other earthy ceramics, and it pairs well with a few books or a small plant on an open shelf.
The body is ceramic with a glazed finish, and the cork lid simply lifts off and presses back in, so there are no hinges or clips to fuss with. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth or wipe the glazed surface with a damp cloth and dry it straight away, and keep the cork lid dry. Tuck a small treasure or a handwritten note inside before you wrap it, and it makes a thoughtful little gift with a kind wish already written on the front.
