Behar dripping jar
This jar is already on the site, but this one still has the 'sieve' inside the lid. I am pretty sure it is a dripping jar, you see lots around but a while ago I finally found a complete example with a reasonable price tag. Now I believe I can attribute it to Benhar... yay! Mine is about 20cm high including lid.

Re: Behar dripping jar
Now I have to find a sleeve for mine!!
Wondering how the ceramic sleeve sits on this or does it go down to rest on the bottom. The internal rim might look wider on yours.

Re: Behar dripping jar
Mine has quite a pronounced lip that the sieve sits on, it can't drop below that lip. I wonder if they made kitchen storage jars in the same shape - maybe not all are dripping jars?

Re: Behar dripping jar
Ok here is a photo of mine...I think it is the same. A demitasse saucer sort of sits in place without dropping down.

Re: Behar dripping jar
Looks like mine has an extra step Mike. Below the lip, mine has a shelf for the lid to sit on, then another shelf below that for the strainer to sit on. Interesting.

Benhar Dripping Jar
Found amongst my late sisters effects, I knew exactly what it was though it's much larger than I expected.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
