Butterfly Jar Small

Small enough to sit on a shelf and be picked up on a whim, this lidded jar has a quiet presence — the domed lid lifts away with a small knob, settling back into its own rim with a satisfying, snug fit.

Each jar is wheel-thrown, then dipped in a rich walnut glaze that pools deep amber-brown where it runs thick and breaks lighter at the edges. Over that, a hand-drawn motif is glazed on freehand — no two are ever traced the same way twice — so the mark reads a little different from piece to piece.

Use it for keeping small things close: rings, matches, loose tea, a stray button. It’s a jar that earns a permanent spot on a windowsill or nightstand rather than staying tucked in a cupboard.

As with all handmade pieces, no two jars are exactly alike — glaze pooling, tone, and small marks from the wheel and the brush vary slightly from one to the next, and that’s part of what makes each one its own.
