Signature Housewares Sorrento Collection Tool Jar, Ruby Antiqued Finish
Created by tableware designer and gourmet cook Debbie Segura in 2001, Sorrento is perhaps Signature Houseware's most popular dinnerware pattern. Sorrento stoneware suits almost any kitchen décor with its rustic, Italian countryside feel, showing a raised dot and olive leaf patterning on most of the solid-colored, thickly-glazed pieces. Square plates are also available, and bakeware and glassware complete the extensive collection, now available in more than half a dozen colors ranging from neutral suede to bright ruby red.A perfect accessory gift for the Sorrento dinnerware collector, this tool jar sits on the kitchen counter to hold all kinds of utensils, such as spatulas, spoons, and whisks (not included). The canister-shaped jar, glazed inside and out, is attractively embossed with the raised dots and olive-leaf-in-a-square motif found on other Sorrento pieces. A nice complement to the Sorrento canister set, the tool jar is also made of lead-free, chip-resistant stoneware (safe for oven or microwave use, should that ever be required), and slips into the dishwasher whenever splatters and drips need to be cleaned off.--Ann Bieri
