The original Kilner® jar, first invented by
John Kilner and Co in 1842 in England, is as
much-loved and successful now as it was over
170 years ago. Its long-lasting popularity is owed
to the unique pressure seal, iconic design and
overall quality. Put simply, households, chefs and
restaurateurs all over the world trust Kilner® to
successfully “serve, display and preserve” their
produce. Whether it’s granolas, fine terrines,
desserts, jams or pickles, Kilner ® offers a real point
of difference. In the 1900s, Kilner® presented its
innovation as ‘the original and the best, all other
brands are substitutes’, a claim which remains as
relevant today, and is a testament to its impressive
heritage. From New York to Tokyo, Paris to Oslo,
catering establishments all over the world are
crying out for Kilner® , and as a result, Kilner®
jars can be found in world-famous restaurants
in which the brand is trusted by the most
discerning caterers.
A surge in popularity for preserving home-grown
fruit and vegetables, and storing food in glass
rather than plastic for its health benefits, has
catapulted the Kilner® jar into the limelight in
recent times. Now not only is the Kilner® jar
an essential for the kitchen, but it has become
a statement of style in the hospitality and
homewares industry.

Mason Cash has been the choice of home cooks
and bakers for centuries. The origins of Mason
Cash can be traced back to a pottery operating
at Church Gresley in the heart of the English
ceramic industry. Located close to all the raw
material and fuel sources required to make
ceramics, it had fantastic transport links to take
finished goods all over the UK and beyond.
The pottery became known for producing
kitchen items made from ‘white and cane’ glazed
earthenware sometimes known as ‘yellowware’
due to the colour of the local clay, or ‘bargeware’
as it was packed onto barges and sent to market.
The pottery was run by a series of Master Potters
of whom the most colourful was William ‘Bossy’
Mason. During the 1800s the pottery was named
after him, and when Tom Cash acquired it in
1901, he renamed it Mason Cash & Co.
Although Mason Cash had produced mixing
bowls during the 1800s, in 1901 they designed
and manufactured the very first iconic Mason
Cash mixing bowl. The bowl’s design has endured
the test of time and has become something of
a design classic in the housewares industry. The
demand for Mason Cash in the catering industry
has remained extremely popular due to the
introduction of new pieces, colours and shapes.
