It is a glass storage jar, designed to hold dry foods such as rice, beans, lentils, spaghetti and pasta. It has a capacity of 3 cups (70 cl). The jar is made from clear tempered glass. The lid is made of themoplastic resin and seals tight. Attached to the lid is a little resin man, Gianni, clinging on for dear life, and as you fill the jar he gets pushed up. It’s a fun and cute way of storing food basics. The jar can be washed in the dishwaher, though the lid needs to be hand washed so as not to harm little Gianni.

The Alessi brand is Italian with a long history of innovative design, and this jar is designed and made in Italy (the designer is Mattia di Rosa, one of the newer members of Alessi’s design team). The jar comes in four colors – pink, blue, lime and aqua.
