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.

Small cube in mason jar. Pint-sized Ball Perfect Mason jar. While most quart-sized jars can easily hold two regular cubes, pint-sized jars are tighter and some have different fits.

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.
