Collection: Glassware - Jars, Jugs & Glasses

Glass lets food and drink speak for themselves - jugs, jars and glasses for the fridge, the pantry and the party.

Glass Jugs, Glass Jars & Glassware for Every Home

Glass shows off the colour of fresh nimbu pani, the texture of almonds and cashews, and the sparkle of water on a dinner table. At Whites & Pastels, our glassware collection brings together borosilicate glass water jugs with gold lids, a hammered glass pitcher, airtight fluted snack jars, carafe sets, a glass water dispenser, oil and vinegar cruets, glass dessert plates with cloches and gold tumblers - designed to look beautiful on open shelves and dining tables alike.

Why Choose Glass?

Glass is non-porous, so it doesn't hold on to smells, stains or flavours; it's easy to keep clean; and it lets you see exactly how much is left. Borosilicate glass - used in most of our jugs and jars - is heat-resistant too. Our Borosilicate Glass Jug with Gold Lid, for example, is rated from -20°C to 150°C, so it can hold iced lemonade in summer and hot herbal tea in winter.

Glass Water Jugs & Pitchers

A good water jug earns its place in the fridge and on the table. The Borosilicate Glass Jug with Gold Lid pairs crystal-clear glass with a gold stainless steel lid and a sturdy handle. Its V-shaped spout gives precise, drip-free pouring for water, juices, detox drinks and mocktails, and it is microwave and dishwasher safe without the lid. The Pink Glass Water Jug holds 2500 ml and has a slim body designed to fit most refrigerator side doors. The Glass Water Jug in Luxury Gift Box measures 22 × 12 × 8 cm and arrives in a black rigid box with a ribbon and bow.

For parties, the Luxury Hammered Glass Juice Jar with Leather Handle is made from hammered glass that catches the light, with a sturdy leather carry strap - for juices, cocktails, mocktails, sangria, infused water and iced tea at brunches and festive celebrations.

Glass Jug vs Pitcher vs Carafe

A jug (or pitcher) has a handle and a spout, and usually a lid - ideal for the fridge and family meals. A carafe is slimmer and often handle-free, made for elegant table or bedside service. A dispenser has a tap at the base, so guests can serve themselves at parties. Choose a jug for everyday water, a carafe for the bedside and dinner table, and a dispenser for gatherings.

Glass Jars with Lids & Airtight Snack Jars

Glass storage jars keep dry snacks fresh and turn pantry storage into decor. The Straight Ribbed Fluted Snack Jars and Pumpkin-Shape Snack Jars are borosilicate glass with a ribbed texture and a durable bamboo lid that seals airtight - perfect for cookies, dry fruits, namkeen, makhana and chocolates. Use them as cookie jars on the kitchen counter, dry-fruit jars on the coffee table or candy jars at a birthday party.

What Are Glass Jars with Lids Called?

Depending on shape and use, glass jars with lids are called canisters (for pantry staples like tea, sugar and pulses), cookie jars or candy jars (wide-mouthed jars for treats), apothecary jars (decorative jars with a glass or wooden lid) and mason jars (screw-top jars for preserving). Our fluted snack jars sit between cookie jar and apothecary jar - airtight enough for snacks, pretty enough to leave on display.

Carafe Sets & Water Dispensers

For the dining table, the Carafe Luxury Set with 4 Glasses is borosilicate glass in green and yellow shades with a dome-shaped lid. For the bedside, the Bedside Carafe with Matching Glass holds 550 ml and has a glass that doubles as a lid, and the Flower-Shaped Bedside Carafe can be bought with 2, 4 or 6 matching glasses. The Amber Gold Water Dispenser Set includes a glass dispenser with a gold-tone stainless steel tap and four gold-lustre tumblers - lovely for nimbu pani or jaljeera at a summer party.

Oil & Vinegar Bottles

The Dual Oil & Vinegar Glass Cruet is borosilicate glass with two compartments nestled one inside the other, each with its own opening - for oil and vinegar, oil and soy sauce, or any pairing you like. For cooking, the Gold Stainless Steel Oil Dispenser Bottle is 500 ml in food-safe 304 stainless steel with a durable gold PVD finish that resists rust, corrosion and stains.

Glass Dessert Plates, Tumblers & Bar Glass

The Glass Dessert Plate with Cloche Dome in a ribbed design is heat-resistant glass that is microwave and dishwasher safe. With a 5.5-inch plate and a fitted dome, it's sized for mini cakes, cupcakes, macarons, mousse, cheese or Indian sweets. For glass dessert bowls, see our Bowls collection.

The Stainless Steel Drinking Tumbler is 304-grade stainless steel with a matt gold PVD finish, in 350 ml and 250 ml sizes, in gold or silver - an unbreakable alternative to glass tumblers for kids' parties and outdoor dinners. For the home bar, the Glass Bitter Spray Bottle is thick lead-free glass with an air-pump atomiser that mists bitters, citrus essence or rose water, and the Penguin-Shaped Glass Vase in borosilicate glass holds small flowers or cocktail picks.

What Size Glass Jug Do You Need?

How to Organise Your Pantry with Glass Jars

• Group by use: breakfast items, snacks, baking staples and tea-time treats each on their own shelf.
• Keep what you use daily at eye level - dry fruits, biscuits and namkeen in clear jars you can see at a glance.
• Match the jar to the food: airtight lids for anything that goes soft, like cookies and makhana.
• Label the lids for spices and flours that look alike.
• Leave a few jars on display: fluted jars look beautiful on open kitchen shelves and coffee tables.

Glassware for Festive Tables

During Diwali and family functions, glassware does double duty as decor. Fill fluted jars with sweets and dry fruits for guests, set a glass dispenser of chilled sherbet on the sideboard, and serve mithai under a glass cloche. Clear glass reflects diya and candle light beautifully, making even a simple table look festive. Pair with our dessert bowls and serving platters for a complete spread.

How to Care for Glassware

• Avoid thermal shock: don't pour boiling liquids into cold glass or move hot glass straight to the fridge.
• Remove metal lids before microwaving - our glass jugs are microwave safe without the lid.
• Dishwasher safe: the glass jugs (without lid), bedside carafes and the Glass Dessert Plate with Cloche, as stated on their product pages.
• Bamboo lids: wipe clean and dry fully so they stay airtight.
• Remove water marks with a little lemon juice or vinegar and warm water.

Glassware as Gifts

Glass jugs, carafe sets and jars are practical gifts that get used every day. The Glass Water Jug in Luxury Gift Box arrives in a black rigid box with a ribbon and bow, and a pair of fluted snack jars filled with dry fruits makes a lovely Diwali gift. See more ideas in our gifting collection.
