The original Kilner jar was first invented by John Kilner & Co in 1842 and has stood the test of time for over 150 years to become a tried, tested and trusted product. Made from very strong glass this durable jar has the Kilner brand embossed on the front. The secure fasting and airtight orange rubber sealing ring ensure that the contents are kept cool and fresh, thus retaining their flavour and goodness. While these jars are perfect for preserving fruits, jams and chutneys they are also an effective and attractive way of storing dry food stuff such as rice, flour, coffee, sugar, etc. The wide round opening makes it easy to fill and dispense the contents of the jar.
