glass jars

Transparent kitchen storage

Glass jars are containers made of glass, typically cylindrical with wide mouths and screw-on lids.

They store food—jams, pickles, sauces—and are prized for preserving contents without absorbing flavors or leaching chemicals.

Mason jars are a common type used for home canning.

Glass jars also store non-food items: a glass jar full of buttons, fireflies in a glass jar.
