Know before you buy
No, this jar is not food safe. It is designed primarily as a decorative art piece and should not be used to store cookies, tea, or other consumables.
Because the jar is not dishwasher safe, you should clean it by gently wiping the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh cleaning chemicals that could damage the metallic finish.
No, this jar is not microwave safe. The metallic antique gold detailing and the ceramic composition are not suitable for microwave use.
The opening of the jar measures 3.25 inches in diameter, which is ideal for reaching inside to retrieve small decorative items or keepsakes.
The jar features a lift-off lid designed for aesthetic display rather than an airtight seal. It rests securely on top but is not intended to preserve the freshness of contents.
