Our Picks
Colored Ribbed Glass Kitchen Canisters

The lids are each circular and have a handy knob for opening the canister. Also available in pink, purple and red.
Designer Advice:
This set of three colored glass containers would look right at home in a white or off-white kitchen. The royal blue containers add a dramatic pop against a Carrera backsplash and on an off-white subtly patterned countertop. If you want to make a bold statement in your kitchen, paint your lower cabinets in a similar color. Consider adding Delft Blue or Blue Willow patterns if you want a less bold look.

Rose Colored Glass Kitchen Canisters
The pretty rose color on this three-piece set of colored glass jars with lids shows off the delicate embossing on the jars. Each lid has a gasket seal to help keep stored foods air-tight and fresh. The small, medium and large canisters can hold 33, 53.5, and 80 oz, respectively.
Designer Advice:
While these three colored glass containers work well in the kitchen, this set also works well in other areas of your home. The wide jar openings let you easily access cotton pads or swabs in the bathroom or craft supplies in an office. The rose-colored glass will tint whatever is in the container, so you can play with different colored items to create a unique look.
Amber Colored Glass Paneled Canisters
Made before the 2000s, this set of amber-colored glass jars with lids is in great condition. The tallest canister is 12” tall by 5.25” wide, the middle canister is 10” tall by 5.25” wide, and the shortest canister is 5.5” tall by 4” wide.
Green Colored Glass Kitchen Jars
These three Anchor Hocking jars are made in an apothecary style. They look like the jars that held candy in an old-fashioned corner store and don’t have an air-tight seal. Each jar has similar embossing on the outside, while each lid has a different type of embossing.
