What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly adore the Small Mendiant Jar for its exquisite artisanal quality and unique aesthetic. The hand blown glass is praised for its beauty and sturdy feel, showcasing authentic craftsmanship that mass produced items lack. Reviewers value the natural cork lid, which offers a rustic airtight seal, making the jar versatile for storage or display. Its elegant simplicity significantly elevates pantry organization. While the premium price is noted, most agree the jar is a worthwhile investment for those prioritizing unique design and durable, sustainable artistry.

Know before you buy
Yes, the jar is crafted from hand-blown glass, which is sturdy and designed for daily functionality. While it is artisanal, it is built to withstand regular handling on your countertop or shelf.
The glass jar is dishwasher safe, making it easy to keep clean. Please note that the natural cork lid should be hand-washed separately to maintain its integrity.
The cork lid provides a snug fit that is perfect for keeping dry goods like nuts, spices, or small pantry items fresh. However, it is not airtight, so it is best suited for items that do not require a vacuum seal.
The jar has a capacity of 11.5 fluid ounces. It is compact, measuring 3.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches in height, making it ideal for small storage needs rather than bulk pantry organization.
Because each jar is hand-blown by artisans, you may notice slight variations in the glass, such as tiny bubbles or subtle shape differences. These characteristics are part of the artisanal process and ensure that every piece is unique.
