The best type of storage combines beauty and functionality, and nothing blends the two quite like a Mason jar. It would appear its charm isn't lost on Meghan Markle, who has filled her Montecito kitchen with jars that she uses to store preserved fruits. She's such a fan of this look, in fact, that she shared it over on her Instagram, and we can't help but feel inspired by her quaint kitchen storage idea.
Dating back to 1858, the Mason jar was invented and patented by John Landis Mason, a tin smith from Philadelphia. His design introduced the screw-top glass jar with a reusable metal lid and rubber ring, creating an airtight seal that revolutionized food preservation.
