I bought three of these canisters in the 1 gallon size and another one in a smaller size. I use them on my countertop for two kinds of flour and two kinds of sugar. I searched all over to find a canister that could hold an entire 5 lb. bag of flour, and the 1 gallon size does. These canisters look lovely on my counter.
Pros
Holds an entire bag of flour or sugar
Attractive
Mouth is wide enough to easily scoop with a measuring cup
Glass, not plastic (I don't like storing food in plastic if I can help it)
Inexpensive
Cons
No gasket; not airtight
Highly breakable
I would not have thought it was possible to break these very easily, as they seem to be very thick, but I was removing the lid from one of them, knocked it against the mouth of the canister, and sent tiny shards of glass spraying all over my counter and into my sugar. As it was impossible to tell which were grains of sugar and which were pieces of glass, I had to dump the whole thing. I know this was my mistake and not the fault of the product (it IS glass after all, which I am fully aware of) but just be extra careful not to knock the lid against the jar. I really wish they had plastic or rubber gaskets to make them airtight. I use up my flour and sugar quite quickly, but I can see how it might be an issue for someone who takes more than 2-3 weeks to use a full bag of flour. You could always lay a piece of plastic wrap over the opening before fitting the lid into place to keep things fresh.

I bought a set of these with one and two gallon containers. They do look good, and "seemed" like they would be great. However, anything stored in them IS SUBJECT to getting GLASS CHIPS in it with use. DO NOT STORE FOOD IN THESE!
I used these for cereals, rice, etc. Any little bump and the rims will chip glass into your food! You may not notice this until too late!
This happened unnoticed and I made rice one day (stored in one of these) and my family found glass chips in their rice!
It's just not worth it! I've used other ones that actually have a little rubber seal on the rim (These do not) and liked them until I saw another chip...
Now I'm using 100% stainless steel containers, with the stainless steel lids (with rubber seals) that have glass tops (like some cookware has) and never have to worry about my family's safety again.

I'm surprised to see all of the reviews that caution against using these containers for food. I've had at least one, but usually several of these glass storage jars in various sizes on my counter tops for fifteen or twenty years without a single tragic outcome. I've dropped the lids on counters and rarely tile floors and never had one break. No chips on the rims, no broken shards skidding across the kitchen floor. Is a trouble free jar really rare these days?
This style of jar has been a quintessential fixture in candy stores for what, maybe a hundred years? If they are good enough to hold candy for children for dozens of generations I'm not sure how we can't manage to store a couple of pounds of sugar or flour in here without fear of causing irreparable harm to our families. Then again I never wore a seat belt or a bike helmet as a kid and somehow I'm still here.
Guess I'm living fast and loose with Anchor Hocking.

Will be buying more
While this jar could not hold my Costco size bag of Splenda, it does hold 8 lbs of popping corn. I think I will be buying a few more of these.

Looks nice, but. . .
Wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I'd wanted a jar with some kind of rubberized gasket around the lid to seal it well, but this doesn't have that. Read more

I made mine into a cute fish bowl. You can fit a small filter in it. It will only hold one beta or two goldfish though.
