Discover Our Range of Large Ginger Jars
Large ginger jars are a consistent part of our ceramic and stoneware collections, offering a wonderful selection of eye-catching decorative pieces for your home. These are solid, functional vessels, produced using traditional methods. Though often associated with ornament, the jars we offer are made with an emphasis on elegance and proportion. They are suitable for storage, display, or use as decorative elements within a space.
Each large ginger jar is either hand-thrown or cast by small-scale workshops. Surface finishes are minimal, and some jars are left unglazed, while others are coated with a thin white or neutral glaze. Marks from the firing process are visible and vary from piece to piece, ensuring each jar is unique and has its own original charm.
Make a Statement With a Large Ginger Jar
A huge ginger jar can be used in larger interiors where smaller items would be lost. These work well in hallways, open-plan living areas or commercial spaces where scale matters. The larger sizes are stable enough to be used on the floor, making them ideal for creating a focal point in a room. Thanks to their weight and shape, huge ginger jars can prove difficult to move once placed, so we advise choosing the position carefully!
In the UK, ginger jars have long been used as decorative pieces. At Kayu Home, our ginger jars, UK sourced or imported through long-standing partners, are carefully chosen based on quality, material and method. You’ll find that we offer a range of sizes and designs, including richly glazed jars with painted designs, and ginger jars finished with a traditional ‘crackle’ design.
White ginger jars are also included in our current range. These are finished with a low-gloss glaze and are generally more uniform in appearance. They suit minimal interiors or can be placed in contrast with darker, textured surfaces. The shape is usually bulbous, tapering towards the lid, and sits best when viewed from a distance where the outline can be seen clearly. These jars are not highly polished, and instead, the surface retains some unevenness and may include small dimples or patches where the glaze settles more heavily.
Stone Jars
We also carry a selection of stone jars made from heavier, more porous clay bodies and with a rougher texture than glazed ceramics. Stone jars may include older, antique examples such as traditional oil jars or newly made pieces using traditional kiln methods. They are best used indoors and should be kept dry. Their use is mainly structural, ensuring they are ideal for grounding a space or providing a low centre of visual weight.
Please note that many of our jars are unique pieces or made in very small runs. Exact colours, finishes and dimensions will vary. Stock changes regularly, especially in our ever-changing antique collections. If you are interested in a particular jar or would like further information about what is currently available, please contact the Kayu team. We will be happy to give accurate details, including material notes and care instructions where relevant.
