This 6-inch canister jar carries a more traditional Multani layout than our trellis and floral jars: the body is built in bands. A ring of blue floral medallions sits near the top, then a narrow striped band, then a border of pointed leaf shapes, then a second floral band lower down. The domed lid picks up the same blue and white palette in a radiating panel pattern, topped with a rounded cobalt knob.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can this canister hold?
The 4-inch opening fits ground spices, loose tea, whole coffee beans, or dried herbs easily. At 6 inches tall, it holds roughly 2 to 3 cups of dry goods.
Does the lid keep the jar airtight?
The ceramic lid sits in a snug fitted groove, close enough to keep out humidity and slow spices going stale. It isn't a rubber-gasket seal like a mason jar, so don't use it for liquids.
Why does the pattern have so many bands instead of one repeating design?
This is a more traditional layout in Multani blue pottery, where the artisan builds the pattern in horizontal registers rather than one motif repeated top to bottom. It takes longer to paint than a single repeating pattern.
Is this jar only for the kitchen, or can I use it as decor?
Plenty of customers buy this design to sit on a shelf or console table on its own. It holds spices or tea just as well if you want it to earn its keep too.
How do I clean it?
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water, or wipe with a damp cloth. Skip the dishwasher and abrasive scrubbers, since they can dull the glaze over time.
Handcrafted in Multan, Pakistan. Since every jar is hand-painted, the exact spacing of the floral bands will vary slightly from jar to jar. That's normal for handmade blue pottery, not a defect.
