Glass Canning Jars Back Then

Since the 1850s, canning jars (aka mason jars) were a common product in everyday households. They were used to preserve food before refrigerators came along. This act of preserving was called "canning" although food wasn't technically stored in a can, but was simply in a glass jar with lids (screw-top lid). Today, we find mason jars being used for drinking glasses, vases and other home decor accents. Glass canning jars have also become a popular collectible item today. Colored antique mason jars are the most sought after since they are the rarest.

If you can't recall what a mason jar looks like or have never seen one before, they're very similar to jelly jars. It's simply a clear glass jar that comes in either a regular or wide mouth size with an accompanying cap to tightly secure the food or liquid inside. An airtight seal ensures freshness for jelly canning jars. You can tell when a jar has an airtight seal because you'll hear a soft "pop" the first time you open the jar.

Our caps for glass canning jars are sold separately under the caps section of our website. They are available in metal, plastic, lug or oyster caps. And again, you'll get the benefit of great low prices with Shore Container's wholesale glass jars. Caps are sold for as little as a few cents.
