Jorge, you and Miz Anne could make a bundle with that! She could paint
and speckle the lids (darker blue-black, though) and you could install
the pump through the lid! "Christmas is a'coming' . . . " It'd cost
you maybe $3.

Found a crafter's web site with the black jar lids and the pumps, lids
are about 49 cents each on sale and the pumps about a buck and a half,
plus shipping of course. The jars in the posted website are older half
pints. I can buy Golden Harvest pints cheaper than those and I don't
have too many of the short squat half pints around anymore. Looks to be
a doable project though. Will discuss with the Chief Artist when she
gets home today.

It would need to be sold with a warning sticker that it is slippery when wet,
and if it falls on the ground it may break. Personally, I consider a combination
of wet hands, soap, a glass jar and a tile floor to be a recipe for disaster.

On the other hand, you can market them as being more "authentic" than the ones
that look like old coffee pots. :-)

Ooh, a matched set for soap and hand lotion! $25 for the set!
The problem I can see for buyers is that the jars are breakable.

I use jars for storing brown and XX sugar and cornstarch and
dried peas and beans and kosher salt, like a small cannister set.

I was thinking the same thing, Geoff. No way would I want to have a glass
soap dispenser. I'd drop it for sure.

But...those pumps, wouldn't they work for other things besides soap? You
know, like ketchup or mustard? You could make them into condiment jars.

We have plastic pumps on glass jars of antibacterial soap in each
bathroom and one with a plastic jar on the kitchen sink. You don't have
to pick them up to pump some soap into your hand. At least we don't.

I guess you could put whatever you want into the jar but some food items
are acidic and the lids are metal.
