- Description
This stoneware tea jar is handmade in Chicago by ceramicist Anne Terpstra. A sturdy stoneware with glazed interior and exterior, this jar is ideal for storing puerhs and other teas for aging. The lid is heavy and well-fitted enough to protect from environmental dust, yet it is not threaded and the jar is not airtight, allowing the tea leaves to "breathe" and evolve over time.
Patina features a warm golden shino glaze with a striking metallic finish. Since the jars are fired with their lids on, the jars' interiors are a contrasting deep red due to the unique temperature and gaseous environment created inside the jar in the kiln.
See photos for measurements. While these jars are intended for dry storage, the liquid capacity of the interior is approx 500 mL, for reference. Choose your jar using the dropdown menu.
