Size Name:1-gal.
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.

Size Name:3.0L|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this jar to replace a broken one from Ikea that held marshmallows and other treats. The broken one had a lid that had a plastic/rubber seal that kept air from getting in - this jar's lid does not have any seal and just more or less sits loosely on the top of the jar. I'm using it, but I wouldn't buy it again for the purpose I wanted.

Great Jar
This is a perfect jar to make your fermented veggies in! I bought two and will buy a 1/2 gallon one in the future.

One gallon jar
This is a very versatile container. Washing this jar is not a problem. The lid is snug so it will keep cookies fresh if it is used for that purpose.

Works as designed... Very well built!
Heavy glass, well built. Has rubber ring seal around the lid. These should last forever if you don't drop them. Very nice!

Cheaper in store
I found this one at Target for $7.99. LOVE the look and how much it holds. If you'd like to sell more online, you really should lower the price to be competitive.

Right size and perfect for what I need it
I was looking for a clear container to make my own vinegar, and this is just right since you dont need an airtight lid for vinegar. Just what I needed.

I purchase two and I plan to purchase more in other sizes. They make great storage for things like flour and sugar. Love these!

Nice jars, but lid doesn't seal
These jars are a good size to keep flour in, but the lid doesn't lock or seal. This would bother me if I lived in a humid place.
