Glass Spice Jar Set of 4 with Wooden Lids for the Pantry

The lid cracks. You take a photograph of the jar into a shop, hold it up, and the man behind the counter looks at it and shrugs, because it is a jar with no name on it and there are a hundred like it.

What Are the Key Features of This IKEA 4-Jar Glass Spice Set?

• A named product, in a shelf full of unnamed ones - nearly every other jar on this shelf is generic, so this is the one you can ask for again by name rather than by photograph.
• Four is the count that gets used - salt and pepper take two of them without a decision, and the other two go to whatever you actually cook with; a rack of twelve becomes eight jars of decoration.
• Glass holds no smell - the jar that held fenugreek last year takes cinnamon this year and the cinnamon does not find out, which a plastic wall cannot promise after something strong has sat in it.
• Wooden lids grip when your hand does not - the top is the part you turn, and wood turns under a warm or slightly damp hand where a smooth cold lid slips.
• A matched row that can stay matched - the point of four identical jars is that they look like one object, and that only survives if you can replace one of them with the same thing later.

Where Can You Use This 4-Jar Glass Spice Set?

• On the front of the kitchen counter rather than a cupboard shelf, where a spice row gets used
• On a pantry shelf for spice storage
• For salt and pepper, which take two of the four before you have decided anything
• For the two that are personal - cumin and coriander, or paprika and cinnamon, depending on what you cook

Why Choose a Named Jar You Can Order Again Later?

• A jar you can ask for again by name - almost every other one on this shelf comes back generic, so replacing it means holding up a photograph.
• A matched row only stays matched if it can be replaced - four goes wrong the first time one is swapped for something close enough.
• A wooden top is never cold or slick - it is the part you grip, and it grips back where a smooth lid slips under a damp hand.
