This seal will help, I believe, to keep its contents fresh for longer periods of time

Perfect! I ordered this for a retirement fund jar at a fireman's retirement party

great it looks good and holds plenty of milkbone small biscuits price was right also very happy with it excellent Was broken in a bunch of pieces when it arrived

My wife inspected it, because it will have to sit for the next 90 days

One nice feature that I'll mention, because I don't see it mentioned in the description, is that of the gasket seal around the lid

It was a hit! Ceramic cookie jar that could have many uses
