Striped Clear Glass Storage Jar with Cork Stopper for Pantry

Every other jar on the shelf needs two hands. One to hold the jar down, one to unclip, twist or lever the lid, and you are already holding a scoop of coffee.

What Are the Key Features of This Cork-Stopper Storage Jar?

• A cork stopper opens one-handed: pinch the knob and pull, no clip to release and no thread to line up, which is the difference when your other hand is holding the scoop.
• Nothing in the neck to perish: no rubber gasket means nothing to harden, crack or hold the smell of the last thing in the jar, and a worn cork is the cheapest part of any jar to replace.
• Glass keeps its neck: a cork seals by friction, and plastic that flexes in summer heat loosens a cork that fitted it in winter; glass holds the same diameter all year.
• Boiling water is allowed: after nuts or ground coffee leave an oily film that a cloth will not lift, the body can be scalded out with no scrubbing.
• Striped walls hide the marks: ridged glass breaks up the reflection, so the fingerprints and smears that show on a smooth clear jar beside a cooker simply do not read.

Where Can You Use This Cork-Stopper Glass Jar?

• On the open shelf, because this is a jar meant to be seen
• On the counter by the kettle, for coffee beans, sugar or biscuits
• In a glass-fronted pantry cupboard, within reach of the knob
• Wherever you open a jar with one hand because the other is already holding the scoop

Why Choose a Cork Stopper Over a Clip or Screw Lid?

• Opens one-handed: no clip to bend out of shape and no thread to cross; you pinch the knob, pull, and it is open.
• Cork fails gracefully: a clip lid that loses its tension takes the jar with it, while a dried cork swells back with a rinse.
• Glass is the right body under a cork: it keeps its exact diameter where plastic flexes in summer heat, and it takes boiling water.

Details

Material & Build

• Body: glass.
• Wall finish: striped, or ridged, glass.
• The limit of a cork: a friction cork is not the same seal as a clamped gasket, so this jar suits things you open constantly and finish quickly, and it is a poor fit for food shut away untouched until next winter.

Dimensions

• Do not order it expecting a particular capacity - read the proportions off the photographs against something familiar in the frame, and if the exact volume decides the purchase, ask us to measure the one in the warehouse first.
• Colour: clear.

Care

• The glass body takes hot water, which matters after something oily like nuts or ground coffee.
• Keep the cork out of a long soak and let it dry before it goes back in.
