Know before you buy
No, the lid is a simple lift-off design and does not feature a silicone seal or airtight mechanism. It is best suited for decorative storage or serving items that do not require an airtight environment.
The glass jar is dishwasher safe, but the plastic lid should be hand-washed or wiped clean to maintain its condition. We recommend avoiding the dishwasher for the lid to prevent warping or discoloration.
Yes, the glass portion of the Kastehelmi jar is food safe. It is an excellent choice for serving small treats like nuts, candies, or sugar cubes.
Because the glass is dishwasher safe, you can simply place it in the machine for a thorough clean. If washing by hand, a soft brush can help reach between the embossed glass bubbles if necessary.
The jar measures 4.5 inches in both height and diameter. While it is compact, it is perfectly sized for small vanity items, desk supplies, or individual servings of snacks.
