Today, I want to share my new blue and white jar. I bought it at Ross a few weeks ago just because it's pretty. I've always loved blue and white.
The top comes off. I have no idea what to do with it or even what it's called.

I love it! Don't what it's called but it sure is beautiful!
hmm, It's really pretty but couldn't tell you it's official use :0)
Happy blue to you Sally!!
Happy BLUE Monday to you Sally...I am up and running thanks again..love the little jar..is it for tea?? Hugs and smiles Gloria
Sally, I have no idea what your lovely piece is called either but it would look nice with a teapot that I have in almost the same pattern. Happy Blue Monday!
Sweetie
I was just at Ross and they do have some lovely blue and white pieces. I have no idea what yours is for other than just to look really pretty where ever you put it.

Happy Blue Monday Sally! I wondering if your little jar was meant for tea? Who cares though, it's just pretty! You could use it for a variety of things....
At first I thought it was a biscuit jar, until you took the top off. Now I think it's either a replica ginger jar or oil jar.
Hey Sally. Happy Blue Monday!
It looks like a ginger jar to me.
Whatever it's "official" use, it's just plain pretty!
Enjoy your day!
ginger jar? tea? spices? lol i'd buy it for the looks :)
Sometimes it dosen't matter what it is fore you just have to have it!. Lovely..Kathy
I have no idea what it is either--but I do know it is pretty! I find lots of great stuff at Ross--looks like you do too....
*smiles*
Kim
The design and motif may make it useful for tea? I am sure their are many joys to it.
Happy Blue Monday to you! I think your jar is very pretty. Not sure of its use. But like others said, ginger, oil, spices are possiblities.
I don't know what it is called, but it's very pretty!! I think I would just look at it and admire it :)
take care,
Dawn
Happy Blue Monday Sally, very pretty jar. I just love Ross's, so many great finds there.
I forgot to do a Permalink the first time, could you remove my first link up at #16? Thanks!
Hi Sally, the jug is pretty, but I dont quite know what to do with it either!lol!
Happy Blue Monday!
My dad would have probably said its purpose was "to make you ask questions". Which, if you think about it, is not a bad purpose to have.
I couldn't begin to guess if it has a specialized purpose, but if you like it does it really have to?
That jar has such a pretty shape and design! No idea if it is meant for a specific purpose, but it could be so useful for anything small.
Love the blue jar. Have no idea what it would be for though.
~Carlotta~
Hi Sally, Love your pretty jar. Maybe it is a ginger jar all pretty in blue and white.
Have a happy day.
Jeanne
It is very pretty. If it is small, I would say it looks like an ink well. I it is a little larger, something to store things in. It would look pretty as is or with some dried or fresh flowers and the lid sitting to the side.
Don't you just love Ross? (I need to go by and see what they have new). Not sure what it is...but I could easily find a place for it in my home!
No matter the intended use...it is very pleasing to the eye..very nice!
Happy Blue Monday Sally, I thought I'd give this blue stuff a try lol, it' always nice to hear fromm you, great psost todday!
Helen
Mornin' Sally.. I couldn't resist joining in on your Blue Monday for the first time. Happy New Year!
Your little jar is a replica of a Chinese apothocary jar... all the rage back in the 1970's... I don't know why I know this stuff.. but I do... ;) My hubby says it's because I'm a closet Jeopardy contestant!
wishing you a toasty warm Blue Monday!
Hi Sally,
Love your new blue and white jar! We have a Ross here, and they always carry some unusual things!
Happy Blue Monday!
I don't know, but it is pretty!
The jar is so pretty. Maybe it's a multi-purpose jar. I think it can be used for many different things.
Happy Blue Monday.
Charlotte
Very pretty, Sally. My aunt used to have a jar like that and she kept bath salts in it. Perfect in a blue and white bathroom. Happy Blue Monday!
Happy Blue Monday Sally, Love the blue jar I agree with Jlshall I think it would be nice in a bathroom or even on a vanity. It's beautiful. Happy Blue Monday Everyone
Peace and Blessings
Cheryl..Snatch JOY!
Your jar is beautiful. I just love to go to Ross you never know what you might find! Happy Blue Monday! Mine really is a blue Monday cause it is sleeting. I hope it doesn't coat the roads!
I love blue and white too!! I bought a blue and white vase while in romania this summer that I love!!!

Hi Sally,
Very pretty jar!! Maybe that's its use, just to be pretty! My Blue Monday is posted. Have a great day!

Good Morning Sally... love your new banner... your backyard is beautiful... and the jar is very lovely... Great post
(((HUGS)))
Donna
I have no clue as to the name of that type of jar. I would imagine admiring its beauty would be a fine use.
Very pretty jar! I love blue and white too. I'd call it a Ginger jar but who knows if that's right?
Pretty Blue Monday object, Sally.. I don't know what I'd do with that little jar. It's pretty--but all it would do here at my home is collect dust!!! ha
Hugs,
Betsy
Good morning Sally,I love your cute blue and white jar... it looks pretty where ever you display it.. I never shop at Ross's , maybe I need to start!!!My Temptations post is ready. Hugs, Baba

Afternoon, Sweet Sally. Oh, I adore your pretty new jar. Looks like a loose leaf tea jar to me, but what do I know? Nuttin'. Sorry I wasn't able to contribute to Blue Monday, but hopefully next Monday I'll be a Blue One again.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Good afternoon Sally,
I have always been drawn to the white and blue too. Your jar is just beautiful. Happy Blue Monday.
Hi Sally
That is a very pretty little jar. I wonder what one would use it for. I think its just made to admire...thats what I would do.
thank you for sharing your Blue Monday.
Judi
Such a pretty jar! I have seen some lke that called tobacco jars but yuck. No one should put THAT in something so pretty! : )
Ginger jar would be better!
It could hold tea, spices, pet treats, bath beads/salts, candies,
flowers with the lid sitting aside it...or just sit and look lovely!
Love,
Sue
I don't know what it's purpose is, other than to look pretty! It looks like something my favorite aunt would have loved.
Your blue and white jar looks like a tea caddy for storing loose tea. The tea would be retrieved with a spoon and added to the teapot or teacup.
What a beautiful blue and white jar Sally! I wanted to stop by and say hi...I missed getting my post done for Blue Monday but I'll have one next week for sure.
Happy Monday...Blue Monday!
Andi
Could it be for tea or spices? Lovely, whatever its use!! Sally
Hello Sally, I'm still making my pink saturday visits. Thank you so much for stopping by. Loved your pink and your blue!
Happy New Year, Shirl

It sure is pretty whatever it is.
Oh I love your banner with the beautiful backyard. Also love blue and white vases. Happy New Year!
New Reader and I love Blue Monday and can't wait till next week to find something blue to share.
Roberta Anne
Gorgeous jar, Sally ... isn't it wonderful how nicely blue-and-white ceramice mix and match? This piece reminds me of a ginger jar, but the neck doesn't look wide enough for a nobby piece of ginger :o)
This is my no-longer-official first week for a Blue Monday post, but the time difference (or ???) made Mr. Linky disappear before I got my link added. Hope you'll stop by anyhow, at

Have a great week, and thanks for hosting!
Victoria
I love the idea of Blue Monday, and I'm going to try to participate next week! As for your blue and white jar...its so pretty, and as far as I'm concerned, as long as something looks pretty, you don't really have to have an actual use for it! :-)
