After being raised with the traditional american Mason jars I have discovered that the German made Weck jars are superior in many ways.  They have reusable glass lids and rubber gaskets which eliminates waste on single use products.  They are more expensive on the front end but some far have lasted a lot longer and are made of thicker glass that is more durable.  Several different shapes and sizes to choose from.   They are also great for fermentation. Check out some of their offerings below.
