I had another plain covered jar, so I had to create another apothecary jar. I'm thinking this one might need a handle, but it looks much better than it did. I did take off the rubber seal to clean out the lid, since it was foggy or dirty inside. I left it off, too, because I thought it looked better that way. I had the jar but got the glass candlestick from the Dollar Tree again. I'm loving these :)
