This supplier did have a problem in 2008 with some bad BLUE jars. As far as I know this affected the BLUE JARS only and the problem did not appear in the GREEN RED or FROSTED jars. The curing problem has been corrected with all jars and the supplier was very courteous about replacing the jars (I even kept the bad jars for other uses). I love the vivid colors and for the price, you cannot find anything like them.

These spice jars look great, only problem is the lids do not fit very tightly and probably will affect the quality of the spices over time.

I love these red glass bottles. I looked everywhere for red glass bottles and then I found these. They are the perfect size and look so nice in my red retro kitchen.

The bottles look beautiful, however when you try to remove the label from the bottom it peels off some of the blue coating. I wrote to the company and told them I would still keep the bottles but thought they should know about the problem with the labels. They did not reply to my note.

While I agree that they should have mentioned that these are PAINTED on colors on the jars, I have to disagree that “they are flaking all over the place”. Yes, they may not last as long as an actual blue glass shaker would have, but they seem robust enough and the color doesn’t seem to be scraping off left and right. The paint flakes are TINY pinpoints flaking off, not as bad as the previous reviewer made it sound. They are good quality, not real high quality stainless lids, but they work, and I like the plastic insert shakers. They are very, very attractive too, and are slightly larger than most other spice jars I’ve ordered so I like that as well. I love the square shape too, adds a bit of decorativeness to it along with it being more economical to store lots of them next to each other. I wish they were actual blue glass and the stainless was a bit higher quality, but overall nice bottles.
