Material & craft
The body is glazed a warm cream with fine dark specks, closer to old stoneware than bright white porcelain. The banana leaves and shoulder ring are brushed in grey-blue underglaze, so the pattern sits under the surface and will not rub off.
Why we selected it
Each jar is painted by hand before glazing — leaf veins are drawn line by line, which is why no two jars match exactly. The lid is cut to rest flush on the shoulder rather than snap tight.
