Origami is beautiful yet fragile, but Floriane Touitou found a way to "preserve" her paper foldings. Floriane protects her intricate origami animals by putting them under glass and these decorations produce a unique charming vibe.
"There is something magical in the transition from a single square sheet of paper to the desired shape: animal or insect, real or imaginary," Touitou said. Her origami creatures are inspired by natural history museums' preservation methods which were widely used in Renaissance Europe.
Floriane (who also has a PhD in Physics) hand-folds her animals using high-quality Washi paper. It is made of paper mulberry following an ancient Japanese technique and has been a world heritage since 2014. Her remarkable work is available on Etsy.

First of all, the origami is beautiful but I hope the jars aren't sealed as they would easily fall over inside. Also, I doubt that putting them in jars is either an amazing way or that it will preserve them. They could last for hundreds of years in the open air!
Most origami will not last for hundreds of years in the open air. Paper crumbles, fades, and creases broaden. Origami from the late Japanese master Yoshizawa was folded using a special long-lasting paper that was manufactured by only one company, wrapped in gauze and placed in a succession of wooden boxes and placed on a shelf in a humidity controlled room. The jar is nice, but I wouldn't want dozens of them in my origami studio. Plastic boxes serve the same purpose, although the bell jar may provide better air tight protection. Obviously, someone is trying to sell bell jars, why else would the tags still be on the top of all the jars in the photos? And yes, the origami would fall over if the jar is moved, unless it is tacked down.
