“It is as healthy to enjoy sentiment as to enjoy jam.” Gilbert K. Chesterton

I love jams and I love tea in the afternoon with a warm something that jam could accompany.  It’s nice to have a special, decorative jar or pot for the jam, rather than fishing around the fridge for the ice-cold jam in a store jar. A nice jam pot looks better on a breakfast table than a Mason jar. Attractive jam pots also make great wedding or house guest presents.

This is a handmade glass jar that can store many things, but it makes a lovely and efficient jam jar.  It measures 5” H x 5” D and is $26.88.
