Know before you buy
No, this piece is designed specifically for decorative purposes and is not food-safe. It is intended to hold small trinkets or treasures rather than edible items.
This item is not dishwasher safe due to its delicate hand-blown construction. We recommend cleaning it gently by hand with a soft, damp cloth to preserve the glass and the intricate flame-worked details.
The Acorn Inside Box measures 15.5cm by 17.5cm, with a height of 6.89 inches. Its compact size makes it ideal for placement on a side table, vanity, or bookshelf.
The jar features a lift-off lid design, which rests securely on the base. It is not an airtight container, so it is best suited for storing non-perishable items like jewelry, keys, or small office supplies.
The glass is opaque, meaning it does not offer a clear view of the contents inside. This helps keep your stored items neatly tucked away while maintaining the visual appeal of the embossed acorn and squirrel motif.
