The jars come with their own one-piece lids, but the regular-mouth lids fit on these and seal well. They are expensive, but the half-pint jars are pretty with the relief script of Quattro Stagioni on one side of the jar while the other sports a relief with fruit, a beehive, a butterfly, and some bees which I wasn't able to discern in the picture.

These are very attractive jars, they have a pretty shape and design. I used them to can some apple butter I made and the results I had were mixed. Other reviewers have noted lots of sealing failures when using these for canning and I personally had a 50% success rate on my first batch (which is pretty low). After the first batch, I figured out the problem. Unlike the more common canning jars, this jar uses a one-piece lid. If you don't have the lid screwed on just right, it can be too loose to form the vacuum. AND the lids tended to loosen during processing. After reprocessing my jars, I checked the lids and they had definitely loosened during the processing step (and I was super careful tightening them before I put them in). I retightened all of them and they all sealed perfectly.While the design is pretty, they are definitely a bit on the tempermental side. Unless looks are important, I would suggest a different set of canning jars.Edited 8/18/2012 Thanks to a comment I received on this review, I tried using these cans with the regular Ball two piece lids and the Ball lids worked very well with these jars.

I've been using these jars (this size and the next size down) for several years to can gifts for friends and family. The jars are gorgeous in their own right, but a cloth topper and/or a bow make them a real standout gift. If I did any large amount of canning, I would likely choose another less-expensive brand. But I'm okay with paying a little more for these high-quality adorable jars for gift giving, and consider the jar itself as much a part of the gift as its contents. I also use them to hold gifts of candied nuts, homemade granola and other things that do not get sealed in a water bath.SEALING - I've never had a problem with the jars not sealing. The single-most important step in getting the jars to seal is to not over-tighten the lids! The air in the jar expands when heated and escapes through microscopic pores in the mastic, creating a vacuum. The lid needs to be tight enough to keep water from getting into the jar during the water bath, but not so tight that these pores are flattened and the air can't escape.FINGERTIP TIGHT - To get the lid tightened correctly, the trick is to use ONLY your fingertips to screw the lid on. With just the strength of your thumb and four fingers, screw the lid on firmly. Don't curl your fingers and cup your hand around the rim using the strength of your wrist and arm. Only the tips of your fingers should touch the rim of the lid, and only your fingers should move to firmly tighten the lid.WATERBATH - The lidded jars with their hot contents need to be completely covered in water no hotter than what comes out of your tap. Once the water comes to a boil on the stove, the 5-oz jars need to remain in the boiling water for 20 minutes, and the 8-1/2-oz jars for 25 minutes. The Bormioli Rocco website has process times for all the other size jars/bottle.AFTER THE WATERBATH - Move the canner off the heat and let the jars remain under water in the canner. Let the jars cool down with the canning water - don't take them out of the water. Usually within five minutes of taking the canner off the heat I start hearing the metal "snap" of the lid as the vacuum seal is completed. Once the water is cool enough to put your fingers in, you can remove the jars and let them completely cool on the counter. Be sure to handle the jars by the neck of the jar, not the lid. And resist the urge to tighten the lid even more after the canning process ... it will break the seal!
