This product was delivered in a sturdy product box that was perfectly matched to the size of the jars.
Inside the box, the jars were well padded with bubble wrap. The thick plastic padding seems appropriate given the fragility of the jars.
Instructions for use are not included with the product, but are not needed as the product is self-explanatory.

When you pick up the product for the first time, you immediately notice the thickness of the glass. The glass wall feels firm and robust.
The quantity and filling indications on the outside of the glass wall, which show exactly how much liquid or other food is in the jar, are a positive feature.
The screw cap feels solid and of high quality. The lid can be easily placed on the jar and is screwed on tightly with just a few turns.
Overall, this product makes a solid impression and also impresses with its beautiful, unagitated design.

The product was subjected to a thorough practical test.
The tightness was tested with liquids of different thicknesses: Yogurt, water and pudding. The jar was able to withstand the leak test, as no liquid escaped .
In terms of heat resistance , the material also proved to be robust – it is possible to fill boiling hot boiled fruit into the jar without any problems.
The jar can be opened and closed easily and with average effort.
To test the scratch resistance of the glass surface, the material was treated with a kitchen knife. The glass proved to be very robust and it can therefore be assumed that signs of wear will not become visible too quickly with regular use.
The empty glasses are relatively evenly weighted or have an average weight for glasses of this size.
In the practical test, the robustness of these glasses and their impermeability to different liquids were particularly impressive.
