    Ha ha, he might have done, had there been anchovies inside.

    I'll let you know when I get it opened.

    Another thing to try is to push down on the lid while lifting the clasp...

    The strange thing is that the clasp wasn't really that tight, but the lid is like clued to the glass.

    I've now had it in hot water, totally covered for about an hour, and I even got the toolbox out and used a hammer - to no avail.

    Will leave it until tomorrow and maybe cover it with boiling water.

    If it still won't open after you have run hot water over it, then after you lift the bail and unlatch it, take a regular table knife and gently pry up along the edge of the lid while it is still hot/warm. If that doesn't pop it open, then I don't know what will.

    Ha ha, I doubt it. I remember she had loads of these standing in her kitchen, with various fruits etc. in them.

    Just now, I had a look at it again, but I'll leave it for bit, and then put it in a bowl with boiling water. Of course, now I'm getting really curious about what is inside.

    Oh btw, I also got several bottles of wine which were difficult to open.
