Kilner glass jars and bottles

Kilner is a heritage brand synonymous with food preservation and glass storage. The brand rose to prominence in the mid-19th century when the original 'Kilner Jar' was invented, featuring a unique pressure seal that revolutionized home canning and food safety. This iconic design remains a staple in kitchens worldwide for both functional and decorative purposes.

While the brand's roots are firmly planted in the industrial history of Northern England, modern production of Kilner products has expanded globally. Most contemporary Kilner glassware is manufactured in China and various European locations to meet international demand, though the brand maintains strict British design and quality standards.

Today, the Kilner name is owned and managed by the Rayware Group, a leading British housewares company. Since the acquisition in the early 21st century, the brand has expanded beyond its traditional preserving jars into drinkware, fermenting sets, and creative kitchen storage solutions, continuing its legacy as a leader in sustainable glass packaging.
