Sun Jar
One preserving jar, one solar lid, endless evenings. The Sun Jar is the product that started everything.
Invented in South Africa in 2013 to replace candles and paraffin lamps, the Sun Jar is the heart of the Sonnenglas Solar System today. Every jar is made by hand at Victoria Yards, Johannesburg — mouth-blown recycled glass with the modular SOMO solar light in the lid. Classic or Mini, plain or painted by the artists of the Artisan Edition: it is always the same idea. Sun in, light out, good done.
