This jar looks very much like a traditional glass canning jar or storage jar, which was used in the past for preserving food, such as vegetables, fruit or jam. The glass has a light green tint, which is often characteristic of older, hand-blown or early industrially produced glass objects.
The flat glass lid suggests that the jar may have had a seal that was sealed with a rubber ring and a metal clamp to create a vacuum, a common technique in canning or preserving. These types of jars became popular in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, especially for preserving food without refrigeration.
Such jars were often manufactured by companies that specialized in glassware for domestic use, and they were an essential part of the household before more modern methods of food preservation, such as freezers, became widely available.
