jars

Glass pantry containers

Jars is the plural of jar—a cylindrical container, typically glass or ceramic, with a wide mouth: rows of jars filled with preserved vegetables, a jar of peanut butter.

As a verb form, jars means to shake or jolt unpleasantly, or to clash discordantly: The noise jars my nerves, His casual tone jars with the seriousness of the situation.
