The Story
A truly tactile "piece of age," this heavy lidded jar is carved from genuine banded onyx. With its mesmerising layers of sea-foam green, warm honey, and deep rust-orange, it serves as a small, functional work of natural art. Whether used to house jewellery on a bedside table or as a curious object on a stacked bookshelf, it carries a weighty, grounding presence.
The Details
• Dimensions: 6.5cm W (diameter) x 9cm H
• Material: Carved Banded Onyx/Alabaster with brass toned hardware
• Tones: Sage green, cream, amber, and earthy terracotta.
• Era: 1960s-70s - likely Italian
• Condition: As a natural material with a history, you may find very minor surface nibbles or manufacturing flecks, particularly around the rim and the metal hinge (along with some historic wear to the brass finish). We feel these only add to its authentic vintage charm. Please refer to our photography for a close-up look at its unique patina.
Heritage Note
In keeping with our philosophy at Roof + Roost, this item is a genuine vintage find. It boasts a wonderfully smooth, polished finish that highlights the natural crystalline structure of the stone.
