pink mason or ball jars?
-
Douglas Hunt on Nov 09, 2012According to one collector, the pink jars are reproductions from China. See this link: http://www.av.qnet.com/~glassman/info/jarfaq.htm The original jars apparently were aquamarine in color. At some point the manufacturer added pink chemicals in an attempt to make the glass clear, but the result was a murky purplish pink.Helpful Reply
