Know before you buy
The lid is designed for functional, everyday use, but it is not airtight. It is best suited for storing dry goods, small household items, or serving treats rather than preserving perishables that require an airtight seal.
Yes, the glass jar itself is dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand washing the plastic lid to ensure it maintains its shape and fit over time.
The raised droplet pattern can collect dust in the crevices. A soft-bristled brush or a damp microfiber cloth works best to clean between the glass bubbles without scratching the surface.
Absolutely. Because the jar is made of high-quality glass, it is food-safe and an excellent choice for storing spices, sugar, or tea bags while keeping them visible and accessible on your countertop.
With a weight of 0.54 kg, the jar has a solid, substantial feel. The thick glass construction provides good stability, making it unlikely to tip over during normal use.
