Does the lid seal to the base or just sit on top? Thanks.

The previous responses are correct - there is no 'seal' for this solid glass piece. You can use EITHER piece as the top. We use the wide flat piece as the base and then set the deeper domed piece on top of that. It will hold 2 quarter pound sticks of butter at the same time and is easy to use from the flatter plate. The deep part remains easier to clean and it has ridges on the outer surface making it easy to hold even with wet hands. So, either way - it's not waterproof but it does a good job of fitting tightly enough together to protect the contents while remaining easy to open with one hand.

Hi Joseph - the lid sits on top. I've had mine now for a number of years and am very happy with it. It's a good quality product and I certainly recommend it. Always best to store foodstuff in glass rather than plastic. :)

The lid does not seal to the dish, but has a downward retaining rim which keeps it from sliding about and being inadvertently knocked off. The whole of the dish is solid heavy glass, without plastics or rubber.

It has a locking lid. I have laid mine down and dropped it and it did not leak.

The lid presses onto the jar. When you press the lid onto the jar it creates a very tight seal. The lid has a gasket inside the lid between the outside rim and the smaller inside rim of the lid.

It is the seal on the top. The seal fits the top opening nicely. The product very well made.

The lid is a push on lid with a seal on it. I have had severial of these cups with lids like this and have had no issues.

It doesn't have a seal but it is slightly raised off of the surface. It possible to put a little silicon under the top part of the base so it would be better off. We have this on conference room table and love it. Hope this helps

It seals immediately upon closing the lid and turning it on. If not check the condition of the large rubber o-ring that forms the seal. keep the o-ring separate from the lid for storage

It's a press-on lid with a rubber gasket. It's really tight. However, it still leaks through the top because the drinking hole is not completely sealed when closed. It's just a spin closure.

When the lid is on it is spill proof, if that's what you mean. But without the lid, it's just open on top.

Mine came with only a glass lid. I honestly don't like it. It just sits in the dish and is loose. There is no groove for it to sit in. It probably does make a seal, but it is awkward.

There is no seal on this lid.. Didnt have a problem with it but it makes it not so easy for transport when full

The lid is removable. Once the lid is on the cooler it doesn't come off at all. It looks like there is a sealer on it.

If you mean the top part that folds back; it makes a VERY tight seal when I steep tea, so I leave it loose, when I pour in hot water. The n there is no tight seal.

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal. I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

The lid pulls off. It fits firmly and pulls off easily. I love it. there is a tight seal yet I can pull off the lid with arthritic hands.

No, the container does not have any type of seal so it's not airtight. The lid does sit well (fitted) on top of the glass container, but it is not airtight.

The lid just sits on top and does not attach. It is heavy enough to stay in place. There is a little venting of oil/steam that comes out of the small vent on the lid and very little from the butter melting area. We do not use the butter melting option so I'm not sure what happens when you do.
