Handthrown Stoneware Tea Jar - Horizon

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.

Horizon features two glazes layered on the ceramic jar. As the glazes interact at their meeting point, they separate into colors reminiscent of fields, grass, trees, and sky.

Each jar measures approximately 4.5 inches tall by 4 inches wide. While these jars are intended for dry storage, the liquid capacity of the interior is approx 500 mL, for reference.
