This item was given to my husband several years ago when he was going in and out of the Chinese embassy due to his position. It came in a box, but I disposed of the box and displayed it on a display shelf. It's in beautiful, unused condition, as I never put anything in it. A friend later advised me that it's also perfect for storing tea leaves. Mouth diameter of the jar: 5.5cm Diameter of the lid: 7cm Overall height: 16cm Diameter of the jar: 13cm
