for placing on kitchen tables, counter tops, or other spaces like coffee tables. The hand painted quality gives each jar its own subtle unique features. No two jars look a like making each one special. Keep snicker doodles, oatmeal cookies, salt water taffy, hard candy, mints and other edible treats. Contain other non-edibles like nails, keys, spare change and napkins. To help maintain its quality hand wash the jar.
