Are apothecary jars airtight?

1 Answer
Are apothecary jars airtight?
Yes, some apothecary jars may be airtight, depending on the craftsmanship. Some older apothecary jars have screw-top lids, and new styles feature a silicone or rubber seal to block out air. But not all apothecary jars were designed to be fully airtight. Browse a range of apothecary jars on 1stDibs.
