Andrey Ginger Jar

Enameled iron rather than ceramic, which is why an 18.5-inch ginger jar weighs as little as it does and comes off a high shelf one-handed. The horizontal swirl is painted by hand in layered strokes, so the blue-gray varies in density from piece to piece and no two match. The silhouette is traditional and the finish is not, which is what lets it sit comfortably in a coastal room or a modern one. Made in India.
