Ball Just Dropped the Most Beautiful Mason Jars for Its 140th Anniversary (“So Iconic!”)
Mason jars are one of those kitchen items that seem to have been around forever. While that’s certainly not true, they have been around for a while. The Mason jar was invented in 1858, before refrigerators were a thing, to keep food from spoiling. Some decades later, the Ball Brothers started mass-producing them. Millions of Americans snatched them up like hotcakes, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Since their conception, Mason jars’ uses have expanded beyond just canning food. Utensil caddies, beverage cups, gardening containers, ingredient storage, lunch containers — we’ve seen it all. It makes sense: They’re affordable and totally cute. The multipurpose aspect means they’re reusable too. All of these factors are why Mason jars — Ball’s Mason jars in particular — remain just as popular today as ever. In celebration of its 140th anniversary, Ball has just come out with a Keepsake Jar that you’ll hold onto for decades to come. Find out why shoppers can’t get enough of the “beautiful” and “durable” set.
What Are the Ball 140th Anniversary Keepsake Jars?
Taking inspiration from the patterns of the 1880s — when Ball’s Mason jar first came about — the Keepsake Jar offers a stunning embossed design that most others don’t have. (Ball’s typical Mason jars just have its signature logo.) This new version will stand out on your countertop or pantry shelf. You can even take a page out of a shopper’s book and display one in a cabinet. Of course, you can also go in the opposite direction and use these BPA-free jars for anything and everything, from your morning coffee to your salad for lunch. The set comes with the usual bands and SureTight lids, which seal up the jar’s contents for up to 18 months.

“The design in the glass is absolutely gorgeous. The seal and capacity are that of an average 16-ounce canning jar. I have accidentally dropped it once or twice, and it hasn’t gotten damaged at all. It’s great overall.” — allib17
