Reviews for Anchor Hocking 69857AHG17 1/2 Gallon Glass Penny Candy Jar with Chrome Lid

I purchased these after observing one fall from a shelving unit 5 feet off the ground without any breakage, or indeed visible damage of any kind. They are made of very thick glass which lends them durability and a nice weightiness to prevent sliding. The lids are a little cheap comparatively, and feel light in the hand, but when inspected closely are quite rigid with minimal flex. There is no rubber gasket on the interior of the lid, it simply rests against the glass lip on the jar. The fitment of the lid is good, though not air-tight by any means. These are suitable for dry goods like toppings that will not be affected greatly by moisture, but probably won't work for powdered mixes and the like. Overall, I'm pleased with the jars, though I would prefer an option that protects against moisture seeping in through the air and spoiling the product.

I love these jars! Very well packaged so they arrived unbroken with no scratches. We use them for ice cream toppings. The kids love to be able to see the bright colors and watch us dispense!

These jars are pretty but the glass is very weak in many places. If the jars even touch eachother they will both shatter. Forget about any kind of commercial use or dishwasher.

We use several of these for coconut, nuts, and granola. They are just the right size and are easy to clean - very happy with this purchase/cost.

received the item in a timely matter, this is a high quality product, good cost effective way for restaurant owners, will purchase again if needed.

Love the glass candy jars! The make an awesome display filled with home made dog treats for the Grooming Shop! The jars worked well for our doggie bakery.

We use there jars for dry candy and cookies . They look nice behind our counter lined up with all the different candies and cookies in them plus they keep the items dry and fresh.

These work fantastic for our penny candy display. People love to see the old candy jars full of penny candy. Gives our store that nostalgic look people love.

Used to hold candy at the desk. Upright, no wobbling, easy to clean, easy to fill, easy to grab candy.

This jar is good for storing candies or cookies. Convenient to use and wash. Gives beauty and decorates any party. A good choice for everyone.

Great quality with a classy look. Kids are easy to get on and off and don’t stick. I like that they don’t have to be screwed on.

This is a very beautiful 1/2 gallon glass candy jar that comes with a chrome lid. Stylish and sleek looking and great to store your wrapped candies in.

These jars are PERFECT for our ice cream shop. We use them to store dry-good toppings such as: oreos, graham crackers, fruity pebbles, etc. Such a cute candy-shop look!

A perfect jar with million and one uses. I use it for candy tables, bakery items and well as toys! Very nostalgic and classic look.

A really nice glass penny candy jar with chrome lid that is beautifully crafted and air tight to lock in freshness. The jar is a great style for penny candy and bulk, unwrapped treats.

It would be nice if the mouth of this jar was big enough to put a 1 cup scoop into it. We use this to make our hot chocolate mix and in order to get all of the ingredients in without spilling over, we have to use a funnel. But, I'm sure it is perfect for candy.

We use these glass jars to store soft granola. They look nice and professional on our counter, the glass is clear and easy to clean. We do put plastic wrap around the opening overnight to make it truly airtight.

This Anchor hocking 1/2 gallon glass penny candy Jar with chrome lid is the perfect size for storing M&M’s. It holds a pretty big bag

This is a beautiful candy jar! It's the anchor hocking 1 gallon glass penny candy jar. These kids are chrome and just sit right on the opening.

Love this glass jar. We put our Pearl Sugar chunks in it so the customer can see what they look like and even taste them if they want. Kids love sampling. Buy a couple and put them on your counter. Be the friendly shop. High quality, thick glass too.

I love these jars I put pudding in them and they make everything look presentable and professional! I love how the glass looks and I feel like it reflects well on my business!

I love the vintage, classic look of these jars and they save a lot of space. I use them in my pantry, in my bathroom to store nail polish, soaps etc

Penny jars have such a unique vintage look. I love setting these out on display on my open shelving rather than keep them in the pantry. Storing ingredients in here gives you a sense of nostalgia every time you reach for it.

We love these! We use them to store a lot of powder / dry goods and they look really cute. Note that the lids sort of just sit on the mouth of the jar (if you tilt the jar 90 degrees, the lid will fall off). That's not an issue for the way we use them, so they are perfect!

Sir Clean recommend this product Anchor Hocking 69857R 1/2 Gallon Glass Penny Candy Jar with Chrome Lid, the quality is really good and the price too.

These candy jars by Anchor are very sharp looking. As to be expected, they are high quality and will work well in many types of establishments, or at home. Great for storing dry ingredients like flour and sugar.

Anchor Hocking is a reliable product that does glass very well. This jar is of high quality and is versatile in what it can store. The chrome cover provides a sleek look, and though it does screw on tightly it is sufficient to keep ingredients fresh.

For glass products, I pretty much buy everything by Anchor Hocking. They're reliable, a brand you can trust to be durable and dependable. This is no different. Its adorable too! It can be used for candy (as the name suggests) or anything with individual wrapping. I wouldn't put flour, etc in it because it might trap moisture. But other than that, great! A+

LOVE these. Bought the metal scoops to go with them as well for a candy bar at my wedding. The lids don't screw on tight but to just set up for looks with candy they work great. Also would be great for flour or sugar in the kitchen.

This is a good countertop candy jar. Nice chrome lid. Easy to have a few of them right next to each other. Great item to hold samples in a bakeshop.

These Anchor Hocking gallon jars are so nice. I put one at check out with mints and customers really like it. I am always satisfied with my orders.

These wonderful jars are so great to put on your counter top and put all kinds of diffrent candy or whatever you want in there!Great price

This one gallon glass jar is great to have at check out so if customers want a peppermint they can have it. Very well made.

This glass one gallon jar is grey for any storage. Flour, candy, cotton balls, chocolate chips, or even any type of tree nut or peanut.

Anchor Hocking name sales it's self. These are very well made and a great price also. I bought alotof these for different things. Great buy

This Anchor Hocking Gallon glass penny candy jar is great for mints at the register.I even have extra for my counter at home.They look nice sitting out. i even use one for cookies.Great Price!

We use these to keep our after dinner mints right on the hostess stand, and they're great! (They're even cheap enough so replacing them when someone knocks it over isn't a big deal.)

what a great old school look. we just love them, have a few by the host stand at my restaurant. customers are always drawn to them, very classy style.

Great 1 Gallon Jars. Easy to fill and holds about 5lbs of candy. I recently ordered 124 of these 1 Gallon Candy Jars for a new candy store. Everyone loves the look!

These are a really nice product for mom and pop type stores. They are also good for candy stores. Maybe you own a family restaurant that makes its own candy treats, you could keep them up at the register!
