I got these with two smaller sizes under amazon's 4-3 promotion. they are an odd shape -sort of oval. I'm not too sure if it saves on space but I will say it makes holding a liter more confortable - nice fit in your hand. All arrived unbroken - the six shrink wrapped in their case and then bubble wrapped and then boxed with some air pillows. I like having a variety of mason jars and the metric measures are much more convenient. These (and other mason jars) have replaced ALL my plastic containers; much easier to clean and to find the size that fits; coworkers are intrigued by my salads in a jar. I do miss having the measure marks on the side of these (aka ball mason jars). The 0.5 liter have a slight green tint.

With Amazon's free shipping, these jars cost about a dollar more than the Ball brand jars but Amazon has better customer service. I am very satisfied with the jars and only wish they were cheaper.

I had used Ball, Kerr and most recently Weck for canning and none compare to Leifheit in terms of appearance - love the look.

After reading the other reviews, I had to order these jars. The size is absolutely PERFECT for canning, freezing soups or giving as gifts with cookies or candy inside. Note, this "1" liter (or 1 quart) size has a standard LARGE mouth so it's easy to fill, wash, and remove contents. I've tested a standard "Ball" wide mouth top and it does fit, so I think you could use those as replacements for canning down the road. The oval shape really does make it possible to fit an extra jar into the canner, and they are super easy to hold/handle. I will definitely order more.

While I love the classic style mason jars, too...these are perfect for a special gift (I enjoy giving homemade salsas, jams, sauces, etc.) and everyone always remarks on how beautiful and fun these are. The shape and design really makes it stand out. Shipping was great, nothing broken!

I purchased these uniquely shaped jars to create luminaries in my backyard. They look great.

These jars are great! Love the design and that they are different from a basic jar. I live in a 5th Wheel so space is valuable! I keep my coffee/creamer in these jars. They look really nice sitting behind the stove top. Would buy again!

I haven't actually used them yet but they seem very well made and beautifully designed also and they are very spacious and have great tight sealing lids for them. I plan on using them to insert my many different herbs and oils and they are perfect!

they are lovely and I like the shape of them - easier to hold than standard jars- especially for smaller hands.

good pricing but not all of the lids were good, so had to purchase some locally
