It's OK as long as you're carefulI found this jar to be just ok. I wasn't overly excited by it, but I wasn't disappointed either. It is a nice jar. You can fill it with anything. There are some things I didn't care for though. The etching is hard to read unless you have something dark in the jar. It isn't as easy to see as it is in the picture. Also, the glass is thin. I feel like if you aren't super careful with it it could break very easily. Just holding it to take the lid off, I felt like I needed to be careful not to hold the jar to tightly. It certainly is not a jar I would let the kids go in and out of. Otherwise it is a nice sentimental piece just be really careful.
