Quick Overview: Scratch-resistant stoneware storage jar with Acacia wooden lid and silicone seal, available in four sizes (0.2L-1.1L) for tea, coffee, sugar, and dry goods.
Le Creuset Stoneware Storage Jar with Wooden Lid
The Le Creuset Stoneware Storage Jar brings elegant organisation to kitchen countertops with four versatile sizes to suit different storage needs. The natural Acacia wooden lid features an integrated silicone seal that protects contents from moisture whilst maintaining freshness - essential for preserving the quality of coffee, tea, sugar, flour, and other dry goods. Available in 0.2L, 0.47L, 0.77L, and 1.1L capacities, this collection allows you to create a coordinated storage solution that matches Le Creuset's iconic aesthetic.
Made from Le Creuset's specialist stoneware with scratch-resistant glaze, these jars withstand daily use whilst maintaining their pristine appearance. The stoneware construction provides superior protection compared to standard ceramic or glass jars, whilst the three-ring design coordinates with Le Creuset's cast iron cookware and other stoneware collections. The combination of durable stoneware, natural wood, and functional design creates storage that's both practical and beautiful enough to display on open shelving or countertops.

What Customers Ask About Le Creuset Storage Jars
Which size storage jar should I choose?
The 0.2L suits spices, loose tea, or small treats - compact for countertops or cupboards. The 0.47L accommodates coffee beans, ground coffee, tea bags, or sugar - the most versatile everyday size. The 0.77L tall design suits pasta, rice, or larger quantities of coffee - narrow footprint but taller. The 1.1L holds flour, sugar, pasta, or bulk dry goods - largest capacity for frequently used ingredients. Consider what you'll store and measure your cupboard height - the 0.77L is tallest at 16.4cm, whilst the 0.47L is widest at 13.2cm diameter.
Is the wooden lid dishwasher safe?
No, the Acacia wooden lid must be hand washed only. Dishwashers damage wood through high heat and prolonged moisture exposure, causing warping, cracking, and loss of the natural finish. The stoneware jar itself is dishwasher safe - simply remove the wooden lid before placing the jar in the dishwasher. This two-part design makes cleaning straightforward whilst protecting the wooden lid.
Does the silicone seal keep contents airtight?
The silicone seal provides a tight fit that protects contents from moisture and helps maintain freshness. Whilst not a vacuum seal, it's suitable for storing dry goods like coffee, tea, sugar, flour, pasta, rice, and treats. The seal prevents moisture ingress and keeps contents fresh longer than jars without seals. For maximum freshness with coffee beans, consider how quickly you'll use them - these jars suit everyday use rather than very long-term storage.
Can I store the jar in the fridge or freezer?
The stoneware jar is freezer compatible, but we don't recommend refrigerator or freezer storage with the wooden lid attached. Prolonged exposure to cold, moist environments can damage the Acacia wood through condensation and temperature fluctuations. These jars are designed for ambient countertop or cupboard storage of dry goods - this is where they perform best and where the wooden lid remains in optimal condition.
How do I care for the wooden lid?
Hand wash the wooden lid with warm water and mild detergent, then dry immediately and thoroughly. Never soak the lid or leave it wet, as this causes wood to swell, warp, or crack. Avoid dishwashers entirely. Never submerge the lid for extended periods. Periodically, you may apply food-safe mineral oil to maintain the wood's appearance and prevent drying, though this isn't essential for function. Store in a dry location away from direct heat sources.
What can I store in these jars?
These jars suit dry goods: tea (loose or bags), coffee beans, ground coffee, sugar, flour, pasta, rice, pulses, oats, baking ingredients, biscuits, treats, spices, dried herbs, and other ambient-stable items. The silicone seal protects against moisture ingress. Not suitable for liquids (oil, milk) or foods requiring refrigeration. The jars work best for ingredients you use regularly and refill frequently rather than very long-term storage.
Will these jars match my Le Creuset cookware?
Yes, the storage jars feature Le Creuset's distinctive three-ring design on the stoneware base, coordinating with their cast iron cookware and other stoneware collections. If you order in the same colour as your existing Le Creuset pieces, they'll match perfectly for a cohesive kitchen aesthetic. Many customers display matching jars alongside Le Creuset utensil crocks for coordinated countertop storage.
Can I use these jars for liquid ingredients like oil or milk?
No, these jars are designed for dry goods storage only. The wooden lid isn't designed to prevent liquid leakage, and storing liquids risks damaging the wooden lid through moisture exposure and potential spillage. The silicone seal works for dry goods but isn't a liquid-tight gasket. Use these jars for tea, coffee, sugar, flour, pasta, and other dry ingredients only.
Are all the lids exactly the same?
No, every lid is unique. While all made from Acacia, the wood grain pattern will vary as is typical with natural wood. There are slight variations in the darkness of the lid. If you're looking for storage jars that are completely identical, this might not be the product for you.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging from both the stoneware jar and wooden lid. Wash the stoneware jar in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Hand wash the wooden lid separately with warm water and mild detergent, then dry immediately and completely. The storage jar is now ready for use.
Daily cleaning - stoneware jar: The stoneware jar is dishwasher safe, but always remove the wooden lid first. Place the stoneware jar in the dishwasher for a full cycle. Alternatively, hand wash with warm, soapy water and dry. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its appearance through either washing method.
Daily cleaning - wooden lid (CRITICAL): The Acacia wooden lid must be hand washed only. Never place the wooden lid in the dishwasher - dishwashers damage wood through high heat and prolonged moisture exposure, causing warping, cracking, and loss of the natural finish. Hand wash the lid with warm water and mild detergent immediately after use. Dry thoroughly and promptly with a clean cloth - never leave the lid wet or allow it to air dry whilst wet. Never soak the wooden lid or leave it submerged in water.
Maintaining the wooden lid: Dry the wooden lid immediately and completely after every wash. Don't leave it sitting in water or on a wet surface. Store in a dry location away from direct heat sources like radiators or cooker hobs, which can cause the wood to dry out, crack, or warp. Periodically (every few months), you may apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil to the wooden lid to maintain its appearance and prevent drying. This isn't essential for function but helps preserve the natural beauty of the Acacia wood. Apply the oil sparingly, wipe off excess, and allow to absorb before replacing the lid on the jar.
Checking the silicone seal: Inspect the silicone seal in the wooden lid periodically. The seal should sit firmly in the groove without gaps or damage. If the seal becomes loose or damaged, it can typically be removed and replaced, though this is rare with normal use. A properly fitted seal prevents moisture ingress and maintains freshness of stored contents.
Storage location: Store these jars in ambient cupboards or on countertops away from direct heat, moisture, or temperature extremes. Don't store near cooker hobs, above ovens, or in areas with high humidity. Whilst the stoneware is freezer compatible, we don't recommend refrigerator or freezer storage with the wooden lid attached - prolonged exposure to cold, moist environments damages wood through condensation and temperature fluctuations. These jars are designed for ambient storage of dry goods.
What to store: Use these jars for dry goods only: tea, coffee beans, ground coffee, sugar, flour, pasta, rice, pulses, oats, baking ingredients, biscuits, treats, spices, dried herbs, and other ambient-stable ingredients. The silicone seal protects against moisture but isn't designed for liquids. Don't store: oil, milk, or other liquids (risk of leakage and wood damage), fresh foods requiring refrigeration, very sticky or oily substances that might contaminate the seal.
Refilling and rotation: These jars work best for ingredients you use regularly and refill frequently. Empty and clean the jar completely when refilling rather than simply topping up - this prevents old ingredients from remaining at the bottom. Check stored ingredients periodically for freshness, particularly coffee which loses flavour over time even when sealed.
What to avoid: Never put the wooden lid in the dishwasher. Don't soak the wooden lid in water. Avoid storing the jars near heat sources. Don't use the jars for liquids or foods requiring refrigeration. Don't overfill jars - leave space for the lid to seat properly without compressing contents. Don't use abrasive cleaners on the stoneware that might damage the glaze.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix different sizes together?
Yes, many customers mix the four sizes to create a comprehensive storage solution. The jars share the same design language and wooden lid style, so different sizes coordinate beautifully whether in the same colour or mixed colours. Consider your most-used ingredients when selecting sizes - perhaps 0.47L for coffee and sugar, 1.1L for flour, and 0.77L for pasta.
Will the wooden lid warp over time?
With proper care, the Acacia wooden lid should remain in excellent condition for years. Warping typically occurs only if the lid is placed in the dishwasher, soaked in water, or stored in excessively humid or hot conditions. Hand wash only, dry immediately and thoroughly, and store in normal kitchen conditions. The natural properties of Acacia wood make it relatively stable compared to other woods.
What if I've used it and don't like it?
Return it anyway. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items - if it doesn't do what you wanted, we'll refund you. This applies even after you've used it.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally break the stoneware jar, we'll replace it at half price with proof of purchase and evidence of breakage. Photos of the damage are acceptable. Note: This applies to the stoneware jar; the wooden lid is a separate component and typically doesn't break but may be damaged through improper care.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Can I collect this item instead of having it delivered?
Yes, you can collect from our Reigate shop (72 High Street, RH2 9AP), Cobham shop (16 Anyards Road, KT11 2JZ), or our warehouse in Redhill (40 Ormside Way, RH1 2LW). Select click and collect at checkout.
Do you sell replacement wooden lids separately?
Contact us if you need a replacement wooden lid. Whilst the lids are designed to last years with proper care, we may be able to assist with replacement lids if needed. The stoneware jars are covered by Le Creuset's 10-year guarantee, but wooden lids are considered a separate accessory component.
