Merchandise, Glass Spice Jar

Early spice jars were made of varnished sycamore; though attractive, they split easily in the heat of old-fashioned kitchens. Ceramic came next but it was pretty heavy. Today, glass jars are considered ideal for keeping spices and herbs dry and fresh and have the added advantage of being see-through. Each jar comes with one blank label and a large-hole plastic sifter top.
