    Hello, Diane.

    How big is it? Where are you - US? Any marks on the bottom?

    I was thinking that at first, stracci, but only in the UK, I think. I've never heard the term used here in the US. Have you?

    It is approx. 5 1/2 inches to 6 to the top of the cover. There are no marks on it.

    Yes, I have heard that term many times. But generally they are short and stout, with room to get your hand in there!

    To small for a biscuit jar as it is appr. 5 1/2 to 6 inches to the top of the lid. Quite small.

    You would not be able to get your hand in it. It reminds me of maybe a jam jar, but the lid does not have any opening on it for a spoon.

    Doesn't look like a jam jar at all. They don't have the bailed handle this has.

    By the way, it looks more like glass than a ceramic item from the picture. Is that what it looks like in person?

    With the bee on it I might think it is a Honey Jar. (holder)

    Definitely not for ashes, Pearls. ;)

    I like the honey suggestion, Bdigger.
