These jars were very attractive and came neatly and safely packaged. The size is perfect for jam, preserves or Indian pickle (that's what I made), and the shape cute enough that you don't need to dress up the jar if giving it away as a gift..just fill it with something yummy!

These canning jars are very attractive. I'm not sure this matters to others, but some people really appreciate attractive glass and I'm one of them. I have a dear friend who also appreciates it, and my late Mother would have liked this too. They have wide enough mouths to easily funnel in what you are canning (I made preserves) and I really like that they are 10 1/8 oz as opposed to the standard 8 ounce. The extra 2 ounces is, in my opinion, enough to make it more of a presentable gift than the one cup jars.
The only drawback is that this is a foreign product. The rubber seal is built in to the lid, and I'm not exactly sure how to buy replacement lids. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

These are great for storing spices. Not sure about canning but it appears the lid is a one part deal and the plastic red seal is in the lid. not sure if this is magical glass or why it is so much more expensive.
