WHY AREN'T THE JARS BLUE AS SEEN ON AMAZON! This is really misleading. I was going to buy them until I read a review that said they were clear glass.

Blue is pretty, and cookingal's recommendation is a good one. I like the limited-edition blue jars for gift-giving. These are great for that, too, and perhaps even more appropriate. Part of the beauty of canning, for those of us who are addicted to it, is seeing the beauty of the food itself. A rose wine jelly in these would like like a tourmaline on the shelf. Vivid vegetables such as carrots, corn, or salsa, shine through clearly, whereas if the jars were blue or gray, they'd look muddy. To everything there is a purpose.... Happy preserving. :)

I thought they were blue at first as well. They are clear but they're very decorative and look pretty on my shelves. I use them to store dried nuts and homemade granola.

I don't represent the manufacturer, or Amazon... I'm a consumer, so I can't answer as to why their picture looks dark. On my monitor, it looks more gray than blue. I will say this, clear glass is difficult to photograph so perhaps they darkened the photo in order to make the detail show up? These are nice jars, though. I purchased them for the shape and because they are made in Germany. If you specifically wanted blue jars, Ball has done a new production of the blue "Heritage" jars. They're available through Amazon, Lowe's and other retailers. Hope this helps.

Rubbermaid makes them in a great shade of blue!! I already had the red lids, so I kept the color red. Contact the seller, just to be on the safe side. Typically, a seller shows a picture of an item and that's is an accurate depiction of what they are selling. Also, read the description, as sometimes it will say what color the lids are. I once ordered some containers and the picture showed red, but in fact, they incorrectly sent me blue lids. I sent them back (at my expense) and they sent me the red ones.

The Mason jars are glass... I ordered 2 of them for my daughter's wedding next year. They were the closest thing I could find that resembled Pottery Barn's version but at fraction of the cost. They were packed wonderfully well so both arrived unharmed - I am completely thrilled with my purchase!

These are old jars, they have the greenish blueish tint of the old mason jars, and some bubbles in the glass. These are truly vintage mason jars made into lights. Very pretty.

No their clear. Embossed w/a little beehive baby butterfly and smal cluster of fruit. Very pretty & a jar you'd like to gift w/your jam. I love them!!

When I purchased them it was I can't speak for now. Hope this is of some help to you. I liked the jars and they were of good quality. They were packaged well and none were broken.

They are in plastic which is dark colored. I think this is a vast improvement over the glass. Been ordering this product for years. Hope you enjoy as much as me. Good Luck.

I Googled it and found what Steve shows below. I suggest stopping at or calling Bed, Bath and Beyond (or similar store) and check the box. I no longer have mine but I do like these glasses. Hope this helps.

hi, these are not light colors the container that they are in they are a little frosted that's why it seems like don't worry about it. And they are the size of a little baby Gerber food maybe a little bit bigger the ones in the jars.

the glass is clear, but don't put the red feeder liquid in these. read about it online, the dye is bad for the hummingbirds.

Unless they've changed their design, they should be clear -- mine were. I think if they were "milky", they would be described as opaque.

No they are not transparent. Recommend buying labels to erase and write contents or if you only use 4 things routinely then have a color code system for either jars or lids or combination of both.

The glass jar portion is clear. The top is a brushed stainless steel. The photo just makes it look bluish.

I would consider them to be about 80% clear. I did a rainbow assortment and you could definitely see the colors clearly through them, but the lids are much more clear in comparison. You still can't go wrong with them.

They are a heavy opaque glass. Mine are beautiful! Look very expensive to me. No regrets from me at all!

The ones I purchased as sort of "frosted" and not clear. They are not opaque but instead lightly frosted.
