Leifheit Canning Supplies 1-Liter Glass Preserving Jars, Set of 6superunited states

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.
