Cube #33

Cube in a vase.  The wide mouth and spacious body means the cube can be manipulated.  Solve, shuffle, and solve again.

Cube #32


 Cube in a vase.  The long neck and narrow bottom makes it a little difficult to get the cube inside.

Cube #31


 

Small cube inside a Ball pint mason jar.  These are slightly taller than a regular pint jar.  Instead of straight walls and a shoulder from the standard mason jar, these just taper down.  A small Ball wordmark is on the front.  The taper makes it too small to fit the top of a regular cube.

Cube #30

 

Two cubes inside a Kerr mason jar.  Front has Kerr wordmark with "Self-Sealing" below.  And "Mason" below that.  No lid, so replaced with two-piece modern Ball lid.  Kind of fitting since Kerr was bought out by Ball.

Cube #29


 Two cubes inside a quart Presto mason jar.  Front has Presto wordmark with "Supreme Mason" underneath.  Bottom has "Owens Illinois" and "Pacific Coast Company" embossed in a circle.  This jar came without a lid, so I capped it with a modern two-piece Ball lid.

Cube #28

 


Cube in a jar.  This jar originally had lemon curd from Trader Joe's.  The neck a little too short for a regular sized cube, so I used a smaller cube here.

Cube #27

 

Small cubes in mason jar.  Ball Perfect Mason jar in pint size.  The different dimensions in pint jars means that sometimes, a regular cube cannot fit.  In this case, two small cubes barely fit in, unlike the previous pint jar.

Cube #24


 Small cube in apple juice bottle.  Martinelli brand.  This bottle is frustratingly close to holding a full-sized cube, but it is just a tad too small inside.

Cube #21



 Two cubes in a jar.  Classico brand sauce jar.  Two sizes have "ATLAS MASON" on them and the other two have ounce scales from 8 to 24 with 4 ounce spacing.  The shorter lid style means this is after the 2025 redesign and is not compatible with other mason jar lids.
