do the jars have a blue tinge to them?

I agree about the sealing. They say to start in cold water....then boil. Although mine did initially seal many loosened in a few days

No they don't. I also have a devil of a time getting them to seal properly; they are, however, quite pretty. The larger amphora sizes can accomodate a ball ring/seal and I recommend that combo, rather than using the single piece lid they include.

Blue is pretty, and cookingal's recommendation is a good one. I like the limited-edition blue jars for gift-giving. These are great for that, too, and perhaps even more appropriate. Part of the beauty of canning, for those of us who are addicted to it, is seeing the beauty of the food itself. A rose wine jelly in these would like like a tourmaline on the shelf. Vivid vegetables such as carrots, corn, or salsa, shine through clearly, whereas if the jars were blue or gray, they'd look muddy. To everything there is a purpose.... Happy preserving. :)

The liquid should be a translucent blue-purple like color; the color is very settle. The texture is very similar to light weight hair styling gel and has a menthol scent to it. If you let some of the liquid dry and crystalize around the lid you'll see the color.

Very barely translucent. They look more translucent (almost opaque) in picture that they actually are because they are stacked. The lids are clear.

No they are solid blue glass and I have had some for years and years. They are very durable! I had bought these for my daughter after she admired mine.

I'm not which picture you're looking at that describes the bottom as light blue. All of the bottom parts are the same. They aren't exactly clear, but they have no color, at least that's what mine looked like. They look like this picture to the left.

the color is not too dark and they do reflect. they are like a copper penny that has aged. I was very happy with this product with my medium brown cabinets.

Yes. I've had a couple jars for a while now and they do separate and thicken but it just needs a good stir.

Not really for sure, they where a gift. They made a great replacement for the sugar and flour jars. I believe they are average side if you have looked at any other sugar/flour jars etc.

huh. looks like the previous person answered that his/hers were blue. seems to me that you would need to confirm with the seller before ordering. I think the seller is sending different batches....

They are somewhat opaque. The best way I can explain is that they are almost clear. You can see what is in the jar.

Mine are also yellow! There is a smell, but it's not to strong. As long as you keep them enclosed and maybe put them in a cabinet, you'll be fine.

Terri, yes they do. My contents have stayed dry and fresh. There is a slight suction sound when the lid is pulled off. I really like mine. Take care.

I really dont know, however they do have a slight smell (more than likely just the paint).

They actually *do* look a little bit blue/almost greenish if you stare directly into your headlight as small parts of the bulb's glass are tinted blue.

They are a beautiful translucent (almost transparent) blue color as shown in Amazon's pics. And when you let them thoroughly dry out, then re-use them, they are the same beautiful blue. Their consistancy is similar to Jello.

None that I'm aware of -- I bought them for a friend who is still filling them with herbs of some sort - she stores them in the refrigerator and has not mentioned any deterioration.
