*glass* canning lids? Are you saying that the lids themselves are of 
glass rather than metal? I don't think I've see any of these, unless I 
have but didn't realize they were for canning. I've seen various 
decorative jars with glass lids, usually with a metal wire arrangement 
which acts as a hinge and a clamp to hold them closed. These usually 
have a white rubber ring. The jars are often square in shape. Are these 
actually (originally?) canning jars?
