Has anyone found any true Ball/Kerr Mason Jars (Not kilner or off brand) in the UK?

I've seen them.  Preserve shop are actually an off brand last I checked, and ebay, only one seller I saw had true ones, and it was cheaper to buy from the US...

I thought Kilner was the UK equivalent of Ball?
Is there any reason why it *HAS* to be ball?

Is this for patriotic reasons or is there something more practical behind it? Just curious.

As long as it's not made in China, it's alright with me.

haha I just like to have items in my house that remind me of home.  I collect Coleman lanterns, and Zippos with a theme of "Washington State"  Most of my clothes are shipped from the US (I like Levis style from there better than what you can get here, same as Dickies)  I even have a Radio Flyer in the mail right now  ;D

Try Wilkinson's, I think I saw some in there once. Or your local charity shop, I just got a bunch of nice French jars from mine.

I've seen mason jars at Hobby Craft, but I never looked close enough to see what brand - assuming not what you are looking for?

Try Amazon?   




On a side note, I saw Kilner jars in a shop in the US the other day and that made me smile!

Thanks, that was the first place I looked.  Those both come from the US which means paying customs charges  :-[ 

I have a radio flyer on the way from the US right now, dredding finding out if I get caught with charges.

I finally got some! Paid about £20 with shipping from the states for 12.  Took 10 days to be delivered, so not too bad.
