Do nesting glass containers exist? I looked back through a bunch of similar old threads, but I wasn't able to confirm if what was posted is what I am actually looking for.
I have been using cheap plastic Rubbermaid ones because they stack inside each other and fit nicely in cabinets. I have some glass ones. I love them, but they don't stack/fit inside each other, so they take up so much room.
I am looking for something that nests/stacks like the containers on the left. I am open to plastic or glass options, as long as the quality of great.

Unfortunately they aren’t available right now, but I SWEAR by my Crofton meal prep containers from Aldi. They’re glass with a rubber lid and nest inside each other nicely- not as tight as the rubbermaid ones you post, but much better than the glass ones! I have a mix of those and Walmart’s Better Home & Garden ones that don’t nest nearly as well but come in a larger (deeper) size.
Pyrex all nest!
Rubbermaid has high quality on Amazon or use reusable deli containers. Both are plastic.
Ikea! I swear by their glass containers. I keep meaning to pick up more of them.

Some reasons I love them:
They can go in the freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and oven.
They nest! I keep the lids in a stack next to them, or underneath.
The gaskets are removable for easy cleaning, which is a pet peeve of mine.
You can buy the lids and containers separately which is great if you break one.
They’re leak proof, which was critical when I carried a bag to work and now mostly matters to me when I shake up a salad, lol.
The size I linked is solid for meal prep.
They come in other sizes, too. I love the square size that’s listed on the same page I linked, which comes in a taller size that uses the same lid. I also have a larger baking pan size that fits in my toaster oven, which is a big help when I want to bake a batch of something I’m prepping and put it away right away.
I haven’t tried any of the circular lid ones. The only size I definitely DON’T like is this tiny kind because the gaskets pop out easily and jars are much more space efficient: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/ikea-365-food-container-with-lid-square-glass-50577933/
pyrex snapware is my fav
What is in the glass containers? It looks really good
I have Pyrex in 2c round, 3c and 6c rectangular sizes. They nest, and I find this to be a good variety for just about all needs.
Pyrex does
