I bought this to replace a broken one from a set that was gifted to me a few years ago. Apparently, now, they are more cheaply made. The lid is a lower quality plastic, and the glass doesn't have the same greenish tinge on the rim. So, while at first glance, it appears to be the same piece, it's not, really. It'll do the job, I guess, but it didn't really replace the broken piece. It's just a substitute.
