Is the jar glass or plastic?

I don't see difference in container, because plastic is neutral as well as glass. If you store container in dry and dark place, it's all the same. If you keep it in direct sunlight, glass is a must. On another hand, if you drop it, consequences are different too.

The jar is made out of thin plastic, although it might still break if dropped onto a hard surface, especially if you purchase the 5 lb container. The lids from my past couple of purchases seem to seal pretty tight so you shouldn't have to worry as much about evaporation.

The jar is plastic, which I know bothers some people. I'm not bothered by the possible harmful effects of plastic jars in this type of situation, and I'm sure the product would be much more expensive if it was in a glass jar.

The jar is plastic BUT don't let that change your mind . . . the honey is utterly fantastic !

The jar itself is a hard plastic, however the pull back handle (the purple part shown in the product image) is NOT heat resistant and will warp.

It's plastic. Sturdy enough that you can't accidentally squish the bottle when pouring.

Plastic. Nobody these days has the "balls" to sell the glass ones we grew up with. Remember the metal Lawn Jarts?? :)

Plastic. The little cap was broken when it arrived. But I just taped it. I've had it a year now and I love it

Well the cylinder is actually glass, not plastic. But not sure about the lid tho.

Plastic, and beware ordering because it is packed so lightly that the glass jar will most likely break in shipment.

Plastic. But I couldn't be happier with mine. Each one lasted over a year. The corners didn't peel up and there were no bubbles.

I LOVE mine. I think it is both plastic and the rubber inside area to grip jars. This product is well with the $$ especially for those w/ weak hands.

Yes, glass. It has been banged around in my kitchen. Seems quite durable. No breakage. This is the best one we have ever had. The last two metal ones were disappointing. This has been wonderful.

Both the lid and the jar are glass. The spigot is metal and feels well made. Saw no leaks when we used it!

The jars are glass, the lids are plastic. They work great and I use my jars all the time... especially now that I have the lids with the straws in them and can access freshly made juices, etc away from home

It's glass but it seems quite sturdy. The plastic base is securely attached, not removable.

The Mason jars are glass... I ordered 2 of them for my daughter's wedding next year. They were the closest thing I could find that resembled Pottery Barn's version but at fraction of the cost. They were packed wonderfully well so both arrived unharmed - I am completely thrilled with my purchase!

it's a plastic jar. if you're concerned about keeping it in the plastic jar, you can transfer to a glass jar. It's a great product.

The jar and lid are both plastic. I don't see anything that mentions the composition of the plastic. I don't even see the PETE #1 that Walter mentioned.

I wondered the same thing but this pitcher is definitely glass. The top is plastic.
