Jars & Storage · Wholesale & Bulk · B2B Only
Ceramic jar manufacturer,
wholesale and bulk supply.
Home Decoratives manufactures ceramic stoneware storage jars and canisters in Khurja, Uttar Pradesh, and supplies them wholesale and in bulk to retailers, gift buyers, distributors and hospitality kitchens. The range runs from a low wide-mouthed pot to a 1.4 litre canister, in graduated sets and singles, with a natural wood lid or a fitted ceramic one, and the surfaces are painted by hand: cottage gingham and cherries, folk florals and trellis, a Nazar eye, or a plain matte and speckle for buyers who want the form to do the talking. The designs on this site are a selection of the range rather than all of it, so if you have a form or a print in mind that is not shown, ask. The pieces are made in our own unit, not bought in and relabelled, and 9+ years of stoneware production sits behind every run.
What We Make
Forms and prints in production.
A buyer chooses the form first and the surface second, so that is how the range is laid out here: four forms, then the two hand-painted print families that run across them. Each is illustrated by a design from the range. The website carries a selection rather than every piece, and new prints are added as they come into production.
Canister
Cylindrical with a natural wood lid, in three graduated sizes for a kitchen run.
Square jar
Four flat faces under a wood lid, which is what carries a painted motif best.
Low pot
Wide-mouthed with a flat fitted ceramic lid, for the counter rather than the shelf.
Graduated set
Three cylinders stepping up in size, with fitted ceramic lids and a raised speckle.
Cottage prints
Gingham, stripes, cherries and hearts, hand-painted on the canister and square forms.
Folk & trellis
Moroccan trellis, folk floral and village motifs in bright multicolour.
Lids And Sizes
Two lids, a run of sizes.
The lid decides how a jar is used and how it is looked after, so it is the first thing we ask about. The sizes step up so a kitchen run can be sold as a set of three or as singles.
Natural wood lid
The country-kitchen look most of the painted canisters are bought for. Wiped, not soaked, and kept out of the dishwasher.
Fitted ceramic lid
One material throughout, so the whole piece washes like any glazed ceramic. The choice for kitchens that wash hard.
Canister sizes
Small, medium and large, from roughly 600 ml through 1 litre to 1.4 litres, matched across a print family.
Pots and square jars
A low 350 ml pot for the counter, and 500 ml square jars whose flat faces carry a painted motif best.
Why Stoneware
Built to be opened every day.
A storage jar is handled more than almost anything else in a kitchen: the lid comes off and goes back on daily, the body gets wiped, knocked against the next jar along and lifted with wet hands. That is the practical reason we build in stoneware rather than earthenware: it is fired hot enough to become dense and non-porous, so the body does not drink up moisture and the rim does not chip at the first knock.
- Dense, non-porous fired stoneware body
- Motifs painted by hand and fired into the glaze, not printed and applied
- Lids fitted and matched to each body before packing
- Print families run across sizes so a set reads as one thing
- Packing specified per order and destination
- Every batch checked before dispatch

Designs buyers ask for.
Four jars from the range, chosen to show the spread: a ceramic-lidded graduated set, a painted square jar, and the wood-lidded canister in two print families. Any of them can be produced in a glaze or a motif briefed by you, with a hand-painted fired logo and retail packaging on larger runs.
Common Questions
Questions jar buyers ask.
Are the jars made in your own unit?
Yes. The bodies are cast, finished, glazed and fired in our unit in Khurja, Uttar Pradesh, and the painted designs are done by hand here too, not printed elsewhere and applied. The wooden lids are the one component we do not make from clay, and they are fitted here before packing. For a bulk buyer that matters in three ways: the pricing is manufacturer-direct, one contact carries the order from enquiry to dispatch, and the print, the glaze and the lid on your run are decided by us and you rather than by whatever a trader has in stock.
Wood lid or ceramic lid: which should we order?
They suit different jobs. A natural wood lid gives the piece the country-kitchen look most of our hand-painted canisters are bought for, and it is lighter and quieter in use, but it has to be kept out of the dishwasher and wiped rather than soaked. A fitted ceramic lid makes the whole piece one material, so it washes like any glazed ceramic and reads as more minimal on a shelf. If the jar is going into a hotel kitchen or anywhere it will be washed hard and often, ceramic is the safer choice. If it is a retail or gifting piece, the wood lid is usually what sells it.
Are the lids airtight?
The lids across the published range are fitted lids rather than gasket-sealed ones. They sit snugly, keep dust and light out and suit dry goods, spices, tea and short-term kitchen storage, which is what these jars are bought for. They are not a vacuum seal. If your run needs a sealed closure for a particular use, say so at the enquiry stage so we can tell you what is workable rather than you finding out after the order lands.
Can we mix prints and sizes inside one order?
Yes, and most first orders are put together that way. Because the pieces are painted by hand in our own unit, a single order can spread across cottage prints, folk motifs and plain glazes, and across the small, medium and large canister sizes, without each combination having to clear a minimum of its own. A retailer can build a shelf assortment and a gifting buyer can take one print in one size. Tell us the split and the total and we will quote against it.
Can you paint our own motif or colourway?
We can. The existing print families are hand-painted, so a new motif is a matter of briefing the painters rather than retooling anything, and a glaze colour can be mixed to a reference. Two honest constraints. A design that only exists for you carries a higher minimum than a plain order of an existing print, because it is set up specifically for your run, and that figure is discussed against your quantities rather than fixed. And hand-painting has limits: very fine text, photographic artwork and strict colour matching are not what a brush does well. Send the artwork and we will tell you what will carry.
How does a logo go on a jar?
Hand-painted onto the piece and fired into the glaze, so it is permanent and survives washing for the life of the jar. Because it is painted rather than machine-printed, keep it to a simple mark; anything with fine detail is better placed on the packaging, which can be printed in your branding on larger runs. We do not offer stuck-on labels or decals as the branding on a jar that will be washed, because they lift.
Will every piece look the same?
Close, but not identical, and it is worth deciding early whether that suits you. The forms are cast, so sizes and shapes hold across a run. The painted motifs are done by hand, so two gingham canisters from the same batch will sit next to each other as clearly the same design with small differences in the brushwork, which is the point of hand-painted ware for most of the retailers who buy it. If you need pieces to be as uniform as possible, a plain glaze or the speckle finish holds tighter than a painted print.
Do you have a minimum order for jars?
We keep minimums flexible rather than fixing a single cut-off, and mixed orders across designs and across categories are welcome, so jars can travel with vases or bathroom sets on the same dispatch. Work set up specifically for you, a custom motif or a colourway of your own, carries a higher minimum than a plain order of an existing design, and that figure is open to discussion rather than fixed. Tell us the quantities you are working to and we will confirm what is workable.
