Parlour Jars

[stirdup]

Is there any other use for parlour jars? It seems a shame to chuck them all in the skip.

Be interesting to see: I’ve got 16 of them at the minute, maybe more!

Don't skip them. They'll sell for £120 in London as a flower pot or something!

I was talking to chap a while back, he was interested in making upcycled light fittings using them.

Keep hold of them, they may be valuable in a few years. I saw some aluminium milk churns make £90 apiece at a farm sale last week.

I smashed mine up and put in a skip after kicking around here for 12 years

I had a chap buy my bulk tank 2 years ago, he was going to make a micro brewery! Don’t know if it ever got going , but he wanted my 8 jars to fit behind the bar ( phase 2 of his plan ) , to showcase his ales.
He offered a tenner a jar. I politely showed him the direction to go home !

12 years? Lightweight!

I've got some in a shed that came to the farm in 1962 when my Grandfather moved farms, but never took up milking again..........don't throw them away lad, we might need them one day.........

well i've increased the value of yours...send a cheque for £10 a jar and call it quits

I saw them fitted as light fitting's also in a restaurant. Same place used upturned milk clusters to support table tops. looks great!

That would seem a bit sophisticated for us on the Blackdowns.

Great, rooting around still cleaning out the shed this afternoon, and there behind the Nuffield and the dismantled series 2 bits are half a dozen jars. I'm going to give them to Mrs Fred to come up with a crafty idea.

Wish you'd showed him the direction to my place!

I've always wanted one fitted above the sink in the kitchen as some sort of cold water reservoir, but no idea how it would work in practice

I'm going to use my open topped receiver jar as a fish tank,thinking of feeding air up from the outlet.

I thought the same thing, I’ve got loads of glass pipe and silicon fittings so could pipe a few up and watch the fish dive from one jar to the other.

Recall seeing these reproduction milking jars used as a lighting feature at a design studio. Might be handy enough to make something similar using the real thing. http://www.donnabatesdesign.com/parlour_lighting

Anyone got a spare jar, want to make a lamp for the house. Worked on loads of farms and seen them worked in the skip. Parents would never let me take one home.

I'll have a look and see if I have any left.
