Why this jar earns its place
A 2.5 litre jar sits between a domestic canister and a full catering container. That is enough loose stock to cover a service — biscuits on a coffee counter, granola on a breakfast buffet, dried pulses or pasta on a prep bench — without becoming something that needs two hands and a clear worktop every time it comes down off the shelf. Glass earns its place here because the level reads from across the room; an opaque container has to be opened to be checked, and on a counter that is the difference between topping up early and running dry mid-service.
At 190 mm it is broad rather than tall, so it stands steady where staff brush past it and a hand goes in flat instead of fishing down a narrow neck. A wide mouth also decants properly: a scoop fits, and the last of a bag goes in without a funnel or a spill down the side. Plan counter and shelf space by footprint rather than height — this is a jar that claims a run of bench, not a column of it.
It is recycled glass, so tone and thickness vary a little from piece to piece; that is the character of the Table range rather than a flaw in it. Glass takes nothing on from what it held last, washes back without staining from turmeric or paprika, and shows plainly when it is due a clean — which matters far more on something a customer can see than on anything living in a back store.
