This vintage charcoal earthenware jar shows faint wheel lines, warm brown undertones and a chalky, worn foot. Handled clay jars like this were made for carrying and storing water, oil and grain, and the handles let a cord or cloth cover be tied on.

At 13 inches wide and 14 inches tall, it suits a console, a mantel, a hearth or a spot on the floor beside a chair. The narrow opening holds a few tall stems or branches well, and the quiet gray tone settles into rooms built on wood, linen and plaster.
