A garden in a jar.
On this jar, flowers grow the way they do when no one is directing them — in all directions, at different heights, leaning into whatever light is available. Yellow sunflowers with dark centres. Coral poppies mid-bloom. Green stems that climb and fork. All of it painted by hand onto a ground of turquoise that sits somewhere between sky and sea. It is 16 cm tall and 9 cm wide, lidded, and useful — tea, cardamom, dried flowers, cotton rounds — anything that deserves a beautiful home rather than a plastic one.

The Craft
Jaipur blue pottery is traditionally associated with cobalt and white — but the craft has always reached for colour. The turquoise base here is a mineral pigment, as are the yellows, corals and greens. Everything is painted freehand on a quartz-paste body that has been wheel-thrown and glazed before the artisan picks up a brush. No two jars are painted identically — the flowers shift positions, the stems take slightly different paths, and that is precisely the point.
Use Ideas
Store loose-leaf tea, chai masala, or coffee — the lid fits snugly for dry storage. Kitchen counter spice or nut jar. Vanity or bathroom storage for cotton buds, hair pins, small things. Desk storage for pens, clips, or anything small and precious. Pair with the Cobalt Blue Elephant Jar for a complementary set on a shelf or tray.
Packaging
Each product is individually bubble-wrapped and packed in a rigid kraft box.
