Help! (updated)

I was going through some of my things this morning, getting ready to thin out a bit and take photos for an online junk sale...

I placed this old jar in the pitcher, just to make room on the counter.

It slipped right in...

A few minutes later when I started to get it out, it turned slightly sideways and got stuck!!!

I've tried

dish liquid,

vegetable oil,

hot water,

cold water...

help!

It is stuck!

Any ideas?

:(

Thank you for all the suggestions! :)

Glad we could amuse you Lenore, lol! ;)
Yvonne, I laughed about saying a prayer and then whacking it on the counter!
And Ginny, I did think about leaving them stuck together.
Carol, I thought about freezing them, but then was afraid I'd break them if they got too cold.
Julie, I didn't have Pam, but I did try cooking oil and then dish liquid, but that didn't work.
Cheryl, I put ice cubes in the jar and placed the pitcher in very warm water in the sink...

and waited...

and then my son came into the kitchen and tried to get them apart a few times to no avail...

then my husband came home from work and Wesley just had to tell his dad that
"mom needs help"...

I told Roger to just leave them alone and I'd work on them later,
but you know guys...

so Roger wriggled them a bit...

and a bit more...

and then they slipped just a bit...

and I said ok, it's working, just leave it alone and I'll finish up...

but you know guys...

so Roger wriggled them a bit more while Wesley looked on...

and I heard a little sound...

and I said ok, that's enough, I've got it...

but you know guys...

they just can't let something get the best of them...

and it didn't...

the pitcher cracked and the jar came out.

Grrrr, guys!!!

I will say though, that if one had to break I'm glad it was the fairly new pitcher and not the old glass jar.
I love those glass jars...

and I love my guys! :)

Now, in reference to my junk sale...

I'll be posting more information about it tomorrow and explaining what it will be funding.

If you like old glass bottles, antique gold rimmed glassware, etched glass carafes and drinking glasses, craft books, cream pottery, etc. I just may have something you'd like.

Thanks for checking back in!
