Vintage Pumpkin Glass Apothecary Jar - 24.5cm

Product Overview

The largest jar in the range and the heaviest object here at 1200 g empty. Ribbed glass curves out to a wide belly and back in under a domed lid, in the shape sweet shops used on a counter. At 24.5 cm it is furniture rather than a container.

Why You'll Love It

• One point two kilograms empty, before anything goes in it
• Ribbed glass swelling to a wide belly, the traditional sweet-shop profile
• A domed lid that lifts off cleanly rather than screwing on
• Big enough to be the thing on the counter rather than a thing among others
• Wide-bellied, so it holds its shape as an object even part-empty

Auro & Co Moment

A jar this size wants a run at it. Set it where there is space either side rather than wedged between the kettle and the bread bin, because the shape only works when you can see the whole curve of it.
