Ball Quilted Crystal Half-Pint Mason Jars with Lids and Bands, 8 oz (6-Pack)

The diamond-embossed Quilted Crystal is the jar most people picture when they picture homemade jam, and it catches light on a shelf in a way the plain Ball jar does not. Six is the right count for a single small batch rather than a case of twenty-four.

Good to know: The embossing traps a little more residue than smooth glass, so it wants a brush rather than a rinse.
