A wonderful and unique gift to anyone who appreciates the beauty of natural materials and Handmade process. It can be used as a jewelry box or nestle other treasured items. I weave the lid from local pine needles to a beautifully delicate pattern.The jar is handmade on the pottery-wheel from black stoneware.The inside is painted with white porcelain and finished with a matte glaze, while the outside is unglazed and pleasantly rough.
