An assortment of vintage and new-vintage glass food storage containers.

From left, I purchased these “vintage” glass food storage containers from the Container Store. The glass topped ones are reproductions of containers from “the original 1932 mold” and I love them! Not only do they provide a healthy and safe alternative to plastic food storage, but they stack nicely in the fridge or pantry. They are oven and microwave safe, so they are the ideal kitchen companions for reheating leftovers. The aluminum lidded cracker jar can also be found a the Container Store and I love using these to store my flours, sugars, whole nuts and dried fruits in. Plus the art deco detailing gives it a nice vintage feel, so they add a bit of style to your pantry.

The little bell shapped jar in the foreground is actually a Weck custard ramekin that doubles as an excellent food storage container and can be found at Sur La Table.

The spouted glass in the back is a vintage pharmaceutical laboratory jar from the 30’s that I found at my very favorite store in Austin, Uncommon Objects.
