Porcelain light jars

For all your light storage needs

The porcelain provides a warm glow, or you can remove the lid for brighter room light. Fits a standard light bulb, though smaller bulbs often work as well.

I have jars for my rice and my flour and my sugar but I never had a jar for my light before. I’m going to tell people that I set it on the windowsill in the sunshine and wait until it’s all full. And then I put the lid on very quickly and carefully and carry it into my TV room where it gives me light all evening.

There's a texture carved around the wide section, so that it glows in subtle rings.
