I had spice jars, and they were cute, but the apothecary-type lids didn’t fit tightly, and the jar necks were too small for a measuring spoon. So, I ordered two sets of these and spent a couple of hours transferring all of our spices into the new jars. The sets come with a collapsible silicone funnel, which is a nice touch, but since spice dust stuck to it, I had to wash it after each use. So, it was easier to set up on a cookie sheet and just pour as neatly as I could. The jars are attractive and sturdy, the screw tops close tightly, each jar has a snap-off shaker lid, and a teaspoon fits, for measuring. They come with TWO sets of labels, one for the jar lids (which I needed) and one for the sides. There are a LOT of labels—including about 35 kinds of pepper. The lid labels are black and white, and look like they were chalk painted—but spice dust wipes right off. Even though there were PAGES of labels (possibly the entire Penzeys catalog worth?) I still had a few things, like Jerk seasoning and everything bagel, that weren’t preprinted. These jars also came with a whole page of blank labels AND a white marker to write on them! (It’s the little things). And, the extra sheets of labels fit perfectly into a gallon Ziplock bag on my cookbook shelf. Inreally love good design, and it’s clear that a lot of thought went into this set—which is also a terrific value at about $1 a jar.
