Blue Mason Jars




I have always had a fascination with antique ball mason jars. The pretty blue glass is an immediate eye catcher… I think it has been a combination of the color and the wondering where each jar has traveled to and from for the past 100 years. I have about 20 jars in my collection to date.
The production of these jars started in the 1880s. The factory that made them was in Muncie, Indiana. Between 1888 and 1961, the company made more than 41 million canning jars.
