Additional Information
Additional Information
1. Historic Motif:
- Features the Squash Pear design, adapted from 18th- and 19th-century fruit illustrations that inspired Susan Williams-Ellis when she created the Pomona collection in the early 1980s.
- Each motif is based on real horticultural prints, giving the piece an authentic heritage.
2. Pomona Identity:
- The Pomona range is named after the Roman goddess of fruit and harvest, and this jar carries that theme through detailed imagery celebrating the abundance of orchards.
- It is one of the smaller accessory pieces within the broader Pomona dinnerware line, which includes everything from large serving bowls to tea sets.
3. Functional Lid:
- The wooden lid is designed to fit snugly over the jar, keeping spices, herbs, or small pantry items fresher for longer while adding a natural material contrast to the earthenware body.
4. Compact Size:
- Its scale makes it versatile — small enough for spice racks or shelves, yet decorative enough to display on its own as part of a Pomona collection.
