Cube #3

 

Some containers have enough room to fit multiple cubes.  This is a generic quart mason jar.  I got this jar without a lid, so I slapped a replacement Ball lid on top.  There is a nice ml/fl oz scale on the side.  This is a regular mouth jar, which is small enough to not fit a cube through whole.  Wide mouth jars are big enough for full cubes.

With a wide lid, room to rotate, and a short neck, the top cube is one of the easiest cubes to solve in place.

Cube #2

 

This is either a vase or a decanter, I can't quite tell.  The bottom does not have any markings.  With a height of 9 inches, I needed to get a longer tool to help place the cube inside.  Unfortunately, the neck got a little scratched from the tools.

Cube #1

 

I found this coffee collector in a thrift store.  From the bottom, it is made by Yama.  As a non-coffee drinker, this may be my first piece of coffee equipment I own, besides the coffee filters used for stock filtering.  There is a lot of extra room, but not enough to fit another cube inside.

Cube #0

The original Cube in a Jar.  

About a decade ago, I built a small model and thought that I could put it inside something glass a la a ship-in-a-bottle.  That first model, and many more afterwards, found their way into various glass Christmas ornaments.  After a while, I found this square glass jar that was perfect for cube puzzles.  That became the basis for my original Cube in a Jar.

After the first one, I started putting them in other containers as well.  And now I feel like putting cubes into all sorts of jars.
