jelly jar

Squat glass container

A jelly jar is a small, sturdy glass jar originally designed for storing homemade jelly or jam.

The wide mouth allows easy filling and spooning.

Jelly jars are often repurposed as drinking glasses, storage containers, or craft supplies: She served lemonade in old jelly jars.

The term sometimes describes any similar squat, wide-mouthed jar regardless of original contents.
