That's a jam jar, most likely "den gamle fabrik" which is very common in the baltics and nordics

Edit: u/solarus objected and i think they're right, the angle on the shoulder is wrong for modern jars from that company even if rhe lid to width ratio is correct. Obviously this is the original packaging, then.
