PUDL
Storage Jar
The PUDL Storage Jar is a wheel-thrown ceramic jar handmade in Melbourne from locally sourced clay and finished with Melbourne-made glazes, sized to hold lighters, matches and loose accessories on a shelf or surface. It measures approximately 78-80 mm in diameter and 100-110 mm in height, weighs 420-440 g, and is offered in four colours: Ash, Moss, Midnight and Bark, with natural variation in size, weight and form between pieces. The jar is not airtight, so it is unsuitable for perishable or odour-sensitive storage, and it should be hand washed only.

Product Insights
PUDL's Storage Jar is a wheel-thrown, hand-glazed ceramic vessel born from a prescription for ritual, designed to be left out as a permanent fixture rather than hidden away. Anchoring the brand's curated ritual-kit range for smoking and incense, this 420–440g Melbourne-made piece in four house tones (Ash, Moss, Midnight, Bark) offers one-hand access to a lighter or matchbox while its open mouth and fired ceramic glaze stand up to everyday use. Its core tradeoff: it is not airtight, thick walls trim usable space, the rim is unglazed at the mouth, sharp metal can mark it, and it requires hand washing—yet at $60 AUD it is PUDL's priciest, bestselling flagship, a deliberate counter-catchall that keeps a ritual within reach while each slight 78–110mm variation makes every jar a one-off.
Verified claims
- Left-out design
- Born from a prescription, built for the ritual — made to be left out, not hidden away.
- Storage constraints
- Not airtight — best for everyday accessories, not perishable storage.
- Sizing
- A standard Bic and matchbox fit inside; the mouth is fingertip-sized, not full-hand.
- Care
- Hand wash only — dishwasher heat can craze the hand-finished glaze.
- Handmade character
- Wheel-thrown on a spinning wheel, so each jar is a one-off, not a mold copy.
- Tone palette
- Four tones — Ash, Moss, Midnight, Bark — repeat across PUDL's ritual range.
- Value
- $60 AUD — PUDL's priciest piece, a bestseller, and under half a $149 designer catchall.
- Heft
- Weighs 420–440g — enough to stay put when a hand dips in, and easy to move between surfaces.
- Ritual edit
- Centerpiece of PUDL's curated ritual edit — Tsubota Pearl, Holk and Addition Studio.
- Provenance
- Clay and glaze, wheel-thrown from Australian clay and glazed by hand in Melbourne.
- Handmade variation
- Each jar's 78–80mm width and 100–110mm height are hand-thrown one-offs; no two are exactly alike.
- Glaze character
- Glaze pools on the thrown curves, so the four tones deepen and shift piece to piece.
- One-hand access
- Open mouth keeps a lighter one-hand reachable on a shelf; a full adult hand won't fit inside.
- Cleaning
- Hand wash only — dishwasher heat can craze the glaze; interior wipes clean of ash and fluid.
- Scratch resistance
- Fired ceramic glaze stands up to lighters and coins; sharp metal edges can mark it over time.
- Set variation
- Several jars in the same colorway still display as a cohesive set; handmade variation stays small.
- Positioning
- The jar anchors PUDL's curated ritual-kit range — for smoking and incense, left out, not hidden.
- Interior rim
- The mouth rim is unglazed; lighter-fluid drips there need prompt wiping.
- Counter presence
- Made to be left out, the 420–440g body reads as a deliberate permanent fixture.
- Capacity
- Thick walls trim usable space; a Bic lighter and matchbox fit only snugly.
- Handling
- At 420–440g, the jar stays planted while a hand dips in, and lifts one-handed
- Collection position
- The $60 Storage Jar is PUDL's flagship — its only Bestseller-flagged, highest-priced piece.
- Ritual role
- The jar anchors PUDL's curated ritual range, in all four house tones.
- Local sourcing
- One of PUDL's own ceramics, thrown and finished in Melbourne alongside its ashtrays and incense burners.
- Use
- Open jar fits a Bic lighter and a matchbox together; not airtight, so for room-temperature accessories.

A catch-all spot for small everyday carry
A hand-finished ceramic vessel for the items you want within easy reach — lighters, matches and other loose accessories — on a shelf or surface. It's an open, unadorned form meant to sit quietly rather than demand attention, and pairs with other PUDL ceramics. Best suited to everyday accessories: it's not airtight, so it isn't intended for perishable storage.[1]
A low-key display piece for shelves and surfaces
The PUDL Storage Jar is described by the merchant as having an open, unadorned form that sits naturally on a shelf or surface without demanding attention. According to the merchant, it also pairs with other PUDL ceramics for a cohesive surface arrangement.[1]
