Nowadays when we think of country farmhouse décor, blue jars come to mind and that famous raised imprint of BALL on the outside. When cleaning out one of our many out buildings Matt came across some canning jars and I found a few in the woods. I thought they would be perfect to put peony blossoms in and dried hydrangea depending on my mood. Even some very early spring forsythia are a welcome from the hum drum of always unpredictable winter. I cleaned this jars easily with warm water and soap and a soft toothbrush. These jars have showcased them all. We are lucky enough to have both growing on the property.
The particular jars I have are from between 1923 and 1933.
Ball canning jars have been around since 1840. Although their original use was for canning fruits and vegetables many are using these for home décor. Lots of knock-offs out there so check out this guide to find out if your Ball jar has some value.
