glass containers

See-through storage receptacles

Vessels made of glass used for storing, transporting, or displaying contents—bottles, jars, vases, and the like.

The phrase appears most often in recycling contexts, where glass containers are separated from other materials: Please rinse glass containers before placing them in the bin.

Glass containers range from mason jars to wine bottles to laboratory beakers.
