Marvelous, marvelous garlic jars! When I read the title of this clip I was so curious what a Simon Leach garlic jar would be like. Well I'm impressed with these wonderful and interesting pots. The wide opening is an excellent idea. My favorite is the one with the swooping neck. You nailed the garlic bulb personality in the pot shape. Pretty much the perfect garlic jars.

Good idea, my garlic pot is small with only a few holes and the garlic always go bad. I have grown my own this year so need a better version.

I like the one you like Simon. I make garlic pots because I use one and like funtional pottery. I also make strainers with a catch bowl. Thanks for all your videos.

At first glance, I thought this was a recipe...been living in Sonoma County, California for a while now.

My friends love my garlic pots. I make them like a garlic which has the hat in the middle, if you know what I mean. Then I cut the lid at an angle (where the hat and the bigger bits meet), like you do, but quite wavy and with one bit that is very easy to see (a point or a deeper wave) where the lid and the bottom match up. ... I like the one to the very left (newly glazed) best. The way the lid sits in is a better fit and it gives me a bit of Mother Hubbard feeling.

I have to agree with Cindy, love your garlic jars. Have you seen the garlic graters they have lots of little bumps (slip) to grate the garlic on, I was thinking it would be nice to incorporate that into your design to complete the workings of the jar, some with some without....;-)don't mind me just thinking hahahaaa....back to practicing...

Is there a way to make the lid the tool for smashing the garlic? It might need a thicker/taller knob that continues to the underside of the lid to do the smashing.
