Amazing Jars – Terrible Price,
These jars are even prettier in-person! More of a deep peacock blue than the very light blue show in these pictures, they are gorgeous and perfectly suited for any use – drinking glasses, small flower vases, and canning of course.
However, Amazon is charging WAY too much for these! I found mine at my local Ace Hardware for $9.99 per set of six. Not sure why Amazon’s price is so much higher when they’re usually cheaper than everyone else. Maybe the packaging needed to keep them intact for shipping?
If you’re interested in these great jars, I do recommend going to Ace though, purely for the price difference.

|Perfect for drinking glasses ….,
If you’re looking specifically for a canning jar type drinking glass, then look no further as these are perfect … About the only other option currently on the market is a clear replica with a very small handle attached, a hen molded into one side, and the words ‘county fair’ or something like that ….
These are much, much nicer … These are perfect molds as they do not have uneven bottoms and will not wobble when set down …. The color is consistant throughout and of a much nicer shade than the original washed out vintage blue …. This color is a darker shade aqua, but not so dark that you can’t see the contents of the jar ….
The Ball company logo is a perfect raised mold on one side, with raised measurement values on two opposite sides …. These raised markings provide a good ‘grip’ when used as a drinking glass …. They have a nice smooth lip, wide mouth, and perfect threading for a standard mason jar lid …..
Kind of overkill for actual canning use, but you will have the nicest looking pantry on the block if you go that route … And it goes without saying that these will make a much nicer package for gift giving than the clear off-the-shelf jars …
These are already packaged to resist handling breakage by Ball ….. But Amazon did a pretty good job of packaging for shipping as well, but I didn’t get the multiple layers of bubble wrap as others have mentioned …. Still nothing was broken ….
Again; looking for a cheap, sturdy, break-resistant, pet tolerant drinking glass? …. Something that will not easily get knocked over while sitting unattended on the end table? ….. Then this is what you want …. You will not be disappointed ….. Get them before they are discontinued and require you to wait for the next 100 year anniversary …..
