Description
The Water Jar carries its purpose in its name — a tall, elegant vessel from the Atlantis Collection that speaks of water, of ancient trade routes, of jars carried to wells and fountains across centuries. Made new, yet designed to look as though it has been salvaged from the depths of history, it brings the aesthetics of ancient civilisations to your garden in the Atlantis Collection’s most quietly evocative form.
The unique textured finish is formed by salt and sand — the authentic process that gives every Atlantis pot its distinctive, one-of-a-kind surface. The colour ranges from chalky whites through yellows to earthy greens and warm browns, and the Water Jar carries those tones with all the weathered depth the collection is known for. Frost resistant and as durable as it appears to have been for centuries, it is a piece constructed from modern materials using contemporary techniques — the look of antiquity with the performance of the present.
Available in three sizes and two colourings, and exclusively available through Caragh Nurseries.
Ancient in character, modern in build, and entirely its own.

What makes this product special
The Water Jar earns its name through its form — tall, elegant, and made to carry. It is one of the most characterful shapes in the Atlantis Collection, and the salt-and-sand textured finish gives it a depth and authenticity that no manufactured surface can replicate. The three sizes step beautifully together; the two colourings give real flexibility to match the jar to your garden’s palette. And because every piece is hand crafted, the jar you choose carries its own unique pattern and colouring — no two alike, each one a piece of the ancient world brought quietly into your garden.
Caragh’s Garden Notebook
The Water Jar rewards a position where its height and form can be properly seen — standing alone beside a path, an entrance, or the edge of a terrace, where the tall profile reads clearly against a wall, hedging, or the open sky. Because the form speaks of water, it is a natural choice for a fountain or water feature, where the sound of flowing water and the ancient, textured surface work together with a calm, contemplative quality. For planting, choose something that echoes the height: a tall architectural grass, a statement specimen, or a simple seasonal planting that trails gently over the rim. The two colourings allow you to choose the tone that suits your scheme — and because every pot is hand crafted, the colouring you receive will carry its own unique depth and variation. Frost resistant and exclusively available through Caragh Nurseries, the Water Jar is the kind of piece that makes a garden feel as though it has a history — even when it is just beginning.
