Know before you buy
The jar features a snap-on plastic lid designed to keep dry goods fresh. While it provides a secure seal for pantry items, it is not airtight or leak-proof, so it is not recommended for liquids or perishables that require an airtight environment.
Yes, the glass jar is dishwasher safe. However, the plastic lid should be hand-washed to prevent warping and to maintain the integrity of the snap-on seal.
Because of its decorative droplet design, this jar is ideal for items you want to display, such as nuts, candies, or tea bags. It also works well as a stylish catch-all for small items on a desk or vanity.
The Kastehelmi jar is made from high-quality, durable glass designed for everyday functionality. While it is sturdy, it should be handled with the same care as any fine glassware to avoid chipping the delicate droplet texture.
The Kastehelmi collection includes various sizes of glassware, but this specific jar is a singular size with a height of 4.49 inches. It is designed to be a compact, versatile piece for countertops or tables.
