    Hello, thanks for asking about the Fleur De Lis Glass Cannisters Set. They are clear glass canisters.

    To further clarify, while most glass is transparent when it’s thin, the thicker glass gets, the more it takes on a green tinge. Ordinary glass, which is made of a soda-lime base contains iron-oxide (also called ferris oxide). When thin, you don’t notice any color, but as this ordinary glass gets thicker, it takes on a green tinge from the iron-oxide impurities which are common.
