History

The Kilner Jar was originally invented by John Kilner (1792–1857) and associates, and manufactured by the Kilner glass bottlemakers company from Yorkshire, which he set up. The original Kilner bottlemakers operated from 1842, when the company was first founded, until 1937, when the company went into liquidation. In 2003, The Rayware Group purchased the Ravenhead name and continues to produce them today in China.
