The Story
The ginger jar is one of those shapes that never really leaves. This one keeps the classic outline (rounded shoulder, gently tapering body, domed lid with a knob) and gives it a bright white high-gloss glaze instead of the usual painted pattern.
That clean finish is what makes it so easy to use. At 16.5 inches high, it has real presence on a console, but the plain white lets it mix with colored jars, warm woods, and patterned pieces without fighting any of them.
Design Function
A lidded ceramic jar that adds a classic silhouette and a clean white high-gloss accent to consoles, shelves, and grouped displays.

The Ceramic Ginger Jar Standard
The Koa family uses one silhouette across several colors and sizes, so pieces can be grouped and still look related. The high-gloss glaze on this white version reflects light and keeps the form crisp.
How to Style It
- Group it with the Soft Sage or Blue Koa jars for a mixed-color display.
- Use a pair to flank a console or mantel.
- Set it against a warm wood credenza for contrast.
- Put it on a lower shelf of a bookcase where its height can work.
- Take the lid off and set it beside the jar if you want a looser look.
Where It Works Best
- Consoles
- Mantels
- Credenzas
- Bookshelves
- Entry tables
Mel’s Styling Take
I like this jar mixed in, not matched. Put the white next to the Soft Sage or a Blue Koa and the shared shape ties them together while the colors keep it interesting, so the shelf looks gathered over time. On its own, I'd give it a dark wood surface; the bright white against walnut is a simple pairing that always works.
Pairs Well With
- The Large Koa Ginger Jar - Blue: the same Koa shape in soft blue gloss makes a pairing where color is the only difference.
- 15" Haratsu Ebony Colored Mango Wood Pedestal Bowl: a dark ebony wood bowl beside the bright white glaze adds warmth and strong contrast.
- The Calista Ceramic Vase: matte white ribbed ceramic is tonal, but its chalky twist plays against the jar's smooth gloss.
- Brea Matte White Ceramic Bowl: a matte white footed bowl repeats the color with a soft, unglazed finish.
- Cream Travertine Stone Decorative Tray – Available in 10.25 Inch & 14 Inch: cream travertine under the jar adds pitted natural stone in the same light palette.
