About
A Mason jar is a molded glass container built for food preservation, standing just over five inches tall.
Mason jars come in several standard sizes, ranging from small 4-ounce jelly jars to large half-gallon jugs. A standard pint model holds 16 fluid ounces and fits comfortably in an adult hand. The thick glass walls make it much heavier than an ordinary drinking glass of the same capacity. Standardized regular and wide mouth openings ensure that lids can be interchanged across jars of different heights.
From Wikipedia
A Mason jar, also known as a canning jar, preserves jar or fruit jar, is a glass jar used in home canning to preserve food. It was named after American tinsmith John Landis Mason, who patented it in 1867.
