The smallest of small storage: trays of corralling and carrying; boxes for concealing in hand-woven rattan; and glass jars that make a showcase of their contents.

Jars

Lidded jars come in handy on all sorts of occasions. They could play host to biscuits, pasta, granola and tea bags in the kitchen, become a home for cotton wool in a bathroom, or even be used as ornaments when filled with seashells, pinecones or fairy lights.
