This is the Collectible Depression- Style Glassware "Red Biscuit Jar" from Miles Kimball. "Charming your kitchen in brilliant, ruby red," this jar is "Great for treats, flowers, nuts, or potpourri." My understanding is that this jar is just something that takes up space in your kitchen. I can understand treats. But flowers? Nuts? Potpourri, for crying out loud? Who has potpourri in their kitchen? And what exactly do they mean by "biscuit jar?" My definition of biscuit is like a roll. Do you know anyone who keeps jars full of rolls on hand?
The jar is "hard to find" (well duh, who wants a biscuit jar) and "combines retro style with the look of vintage collectibles!"
I looked online, and there is a whole collection of "Depression- style Glassware!" In different colors! You can have a whole collection of things like miniature baskets, milk bottles, and nut jars! And candy dishes! Shaped like hens, roosters, cats (oh my!)... It's also dishwasher safe!
So if you want a collection of glassware designed for strange purposes, then go to mileskimball.com. Who knows? Maybe some people snatch up "depression- style" items. However, I find the thought of that very...depressing. But if you must have a red biscuit jar, they are $14.99 in the ad, and $21.99 online. It also has a 4 and a half star rating (well whaddaya know).
So what do you think? Is this item crap, or treasure?
What is pot purry?
ReplyDeletePotpourri is basically a mixture of dried flower petals and spices that is used to make rooms, dresser drawers and closets smell good. I don't think it would be good in a kitchen; conflicting smells and all that.
