Ball Canning Wide Mouth Pint Platinum Jar 16 oz. 4-Countbestus

Last year I got the 8oz version of these to fill with jams and give away as Christmas gifts... unfortunately their shape meant they didn't hold nearly as much jam as a normal 8oz jar does. I still loved the look of the jars though so I decided to get the 16oz variety... I couldn't find them ANYWHERE! I really don't like buying glassware through mail-order but even when I gave up finding these jars locally I still couldn't find them! Then I found this seller (Polsteins Home & Beyond) and their great price! I bought 10 packs of 4 jars each... they arrived very quickly and not a single piece was broken since each pack was individually wrapped in bubble wrap. I've added this seller to my favorites list and I plan to buy these jars from them again once I've given them away. Even if I had found these jars in the store I'm sure this price (even if you factor in the shipping cost) would easily beat even Wal-Mart.

I love these jars. I wanted to review them but my review would mirror Daria's review exactly. We even purchased from the same vendor. The shipping price was worth recieving every jar in perfect condition and they are a classy type of canning jar. I sent my Mom a box of canned goods to hand out for the holidays yet because the jars were so beautiful she kept them all for herself! lol

These jars are adorable *and* available on the ball website for a third of the cost. Shameful pricing, Amazon. They've done this with other items before. Not cool.
