Honey amber glaze pools over the shoulder and rim of a tall cream jar, with a single loop handle at its side and a glossy surface that catches the light. This vintage two tone glazed kitchen canister has the plain, sturdy shape of a pantry workhorse, with soft staining near the base and tiny glaze flecks that come with years of use. Glazed ceramic canisters like this were made to store flour, grain, pickles and kitchen staples, and the glaze kept contents dry and made the jar easy to wash.

At 11 inches wide and 14 inches tall, it works on a kitchen counter as a utensil holder, on the floor as a vase for tall branches or on a pantry shelf as storage. The cream and amber tones suit farmhouse, cottage and warm modern kitchens.
