Beautiful, slightly smaller than I pictured
●●●●○Read the measurements and still expected it bigger. My fault. The colour is exactly as photographed.

About it
Every jar cracked during firing at Oriel's own kiln. They rejoin the pieces with urushi lacquer over several weeks, then dust the last coat with gold, so the break becomes the pattern.
For dry things: tea, sugar, buttons. The lacquer does not like the dishwasher.
