Wood-Fired Jar by Meghan Burke Studio

For salt, trinkets, and beyond

A lidded jar that’s as special as whatever you tuck inside. Pittsburgh-based artist Meghan Burke shaped and pinched this piece by hand, then glazed it before firing it in a local wood kiln. (Teams of people must stoke the flames continuously over several days, but the one-of-a-kind results are well worth it.)

• Stoneware
• Finished in a wood-fired kiln
• Handmade in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

These pieces come courtesy of All Fired Up, a very special collection of handmade ceramics, only available at Food52. (They’re wood-fired, so some variation in color and texture is to be expected.) Browse the full All Fired Up collection.
