Up for sale is a beautiful and highly collectible vintage Ball Perfect Mason half-gallon glass jar in the iconic "Ball Blue" aqua hue, complete with an authentic glass-insulated zinc lid.
What makes this particular jar a standout addition to any antique collection is its distinctive square-shaped body. While the vast majority of antique half-gallon Ball jars found today feature the traditional round design, Ball introduced these flat-paneled, square variants to pack tighter into shipping crates and maximize storage space on pantry shelves. Because they were produced in much smaller quantities and never fully replaced the round standard, these square-style half-gallons are significantly less common and highly sought after by collectors.
Key Features:
• Brand: Ball
• Style: Square-bottom / Square-sided variant (Scarce)
• Capacity: Half Gallon (2 Quarts / 64 oz)
• Color: Classic Vintage Aqua Blue
• Base Marking: Stamped with Mold Number 1 on the bottom
• Inclusions: Includes a vintage zinc screw-on lid featuring its original white glass/porcelain insulating insert.
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The glass retains its vibrant, clear aqua color with beautiful, authentic primitive character lines and tiny embedded air bubbles from the era's manufacturing process. There are no major chips, cracks, or structural issues. Please review all photos closely for a detailed look at both the jar and lid condition.
