Scott Kilner

"A Stanford Political Science major, coupled with study at a Stanford Overseas Program, provided a superb intellectual foundation for a career in U.S. foreign policy. On top of this foundation I added a Masters degree in International Affairs and three years of practical experience in banking before joining the State Department. But during the three decades in international diplomacy that followed, I found myself time-and-again returning to the frame of reference that the Political Science program had given me."

Scott served for 32 years as a career diplomat with the U.S. Department of State, retiring with the rank of Minister-Counselor. In addition to several Washington assignments in the Bureau of European Affairs, he had nine overseas postings in Europe, Turkey and Afghanistan. These included Consul General in Istanbul, Turkey; Deputy Chief of Mission in Vienna, Austria; and Director for Provincial Affairs in Kabul, Afghanistan.

The idea of containers to preserve food has been around for a very long time. During the Napoleonic Wars the French government offered a reward to anyone who could come up with an effective method of preserving food for the army. Nicolas Appert, a Paris cook, proposed sealing the food in glass jars and then heating them. Although he didn’t know why this worked it certainly proved effective – he won the award and also gained a patent. The idea was later adapted for iron cans, and the canning industry was born.

 

Jars and Bottles

Although metal containers had taken over, glass bottles continued to be used for storing and preserving. Two of the most well-known of this type are the 'Mason Jar', patented in the US in 1858 by John Mason, and the 'Kilner Jar', which appeared in Britain in the early 1860s. The 'Kilner Jar' is a term still used today.
