Know before you buy
No, this piece is not food-safe. It is designed primarily as a decorative collectible and should not be used to store edible items directly.
The crystal is not dishwasher safe and should be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water, then dried with a soft, lint-free cloth. The walnut base should be wiped clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth; avoid using harsh wood cleaners or submerging it in water.
The jar stands nearly 10 inches tall and has a width of 5.5 inches, making it a substantial centerpiece for a shelf or desk.
The jar features a lift-off lid design, which does not provide an airtight seal. It is intended for display purposes rather than preserving the freshness of food.
Yes, look for the intricate cut patterns on the dome lid and the base. A key identifying feature is the unique star detail etched into the bottom of the crystal base.
