Know before you buy
Because this is an authentic antique piece with a rustic glaze, it is primarily intended for decorative use. We recommend using a secondary glass insert if you plan to display fresh flowers to prevent moisture from seeping through the porous ceramic.
To preserve the original manual paint and finish, dust the jar gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging the piece in water, as the antique glaze may be sensitive to moisture and abrasive materials.
As an early 20th-century antique, this jar naturally carries the character of its age. You may notice subtle variations in the glaze, minor surface imperfections, or fading in the paint, all of which are authentic markers of its history and traditional craftsmanship.
With its 14 1/2-inch height and 12-inch diameter, this jar works best as a standalone focal point on a console table, mantle, or large bookshelf. Its rustic aesthetic pairs beautifully with neutral textures like linen or wood to highlight its historical charm.
This piece is an open-top apothecary-style jar and does not include a lid. The 5-inch opening is designed to showcase the vessel's depth and is ideal for displaying dried botanicals or simply standing alone as a sculptural object.
