This feels like nobody tested it. The design allows no air to pass through, great. But that means the lid is impossible to close due to air pressure inside. Once you do close it, you’ll be fighting it for 20 minutes next time you want to open it.
The build quality is surprisingly good but the biggest design flaw of this product is that the gaskets can get very tight and the lid won't pop off easily (Had to use plastic pryers!).
An amazingly solid piece, and really beautiful to behold. I'd happily buy more.
One thing to note: once closed, it's very hard to open. I had to buy an opening tool, which is the only successful way I've been able to consistently open the vessels.
Mine just arrived yesterday. I only ordered one, because I thought, "they look nice, but they're a little small and the price is too steep so I'll get one and see". Well, what I see is that they are awesome little jars (ok, lid is a little tight at the start), and that I wish I got 3 instead of one. If you want details, do read the review from @EDCer123. So solid. I do wish they'd cut some from a ferromagnetic steel so it could be held by a strong magnet though. Requesting more now! Do you wish you got this and missed? Ask for more please!
First, the photos don't do this container justice. It looks much better in person, when you actually hold it in your hand. It is thick and sturdy, but light and very well made. Its fit and finish are superb. The gasket fit design of the lid is better than the lid design in other machined containers I've seen that use screw-in threads because threads can wear out after enough usage due to wear and tear of metal-on-metal moving parts. And when the threads do wear out, those containers become useless, unlike this Craighill container where you can replace the gasket if it wears out. Also, the lid has a tight fit on the container, as it should, and can be very easily removed by twisting it off. The container is definitely much more durable and longer lasting than mint tins that can be easily crushed or cheap plastic boxes that can easily crack or break. It can certainly withstand the test of time, unlike these other cheaply made throw-aways.
As a machined object by itself, even if it doesn't serve an immediately obvious useful purpose for the owner, this container stands alone as a stunning work of beauty. Its thickness, somewhat bowl-like profile, and sculptural shape of the lid remind me of clay ceramic wares. This might be a reason why Craighill chose to call this container a vessel.
As for me, I use it to store my $4,000+ digital hearing aids when I'm not wearing them on the go, for example, if there is pouring rain outside or if I know I'm going to get very wet and dirty. It is sturdy and protective enough for what I need. For the one-time $40 I paid for it, I would say that it was a good investment and just about as good as an insurance policy against damage to my hearing aids. Even if I did have a hearing aid insurance policy that completely covered replacement cost, it would still be a big problem for me to not be able to wear the hearing aids while I waste time filing a claim and waiting for the new hearing aids to arrive. So in that sense, this container is also a good investment that will save time and prevent quality-of-life issues for me. I can imagine that it can also be used to store expensive, high-performance IEMs that some people use to listen to music and can be just as good an investment for them as well that can similarly save time and money.
