Birch bark canisters

Birch bark has been used for centuries in Russia and across northern Europe to make everyday containers. Light, supple when worked and naturally resilient, it was used to store bread, salt, grain and tea.

Our canisters are handmade using this technique. The bark is cut, shaped and fitted around a wooden base and lid. Each canister carries the shades and grain of the bark it was made from.

They are suited to dry foods, such as tea, coffee beans, spices or sugar, and to small items around the home.

Care: wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth. Do not soak them or put them in the dishwasher. They are not designed to hold liquids.
