The jars in my first pic are coffee jars from Douwe Egberts. The footed apothecary jar in my second and third pic is from Belle Epoque.
I love jars of candy, from the ones in old fashioned sweet shops to footed apothecary jars. So imagine my delight when a friend of mine showed me a pic of the Juicy Couture table in Selfridges which was covered in candy-filled jars, as an idea for her wedding. I thought "I'll help you!".
I'd also seen some candy jars in the window of Ralph Lauren in Hong Kong back in April (see above), so I started to search around to see what I could find.
In my search I came across the delightful pics above from Amy Atlas. You definitely should check out her website for the most beautiful candy tables, in an array of colours and themes, for weddings, birthdays and more.
It seems that the glass jars are a lot easier to get hold of stateside than here in the UK. However, I did find a great store called Chefs that ships all over the world and they do the lovely glass pedestal candy jars in varying heights above.
For my US readers who want to buy some glass jars please check out the above Candy Jars set in Polyvore for a selection of the candy jars I found in all shapes/sizes and prices.
For some good places to buy coloured sweets in the UK/USA take a look at my recent post: Old fashioned candy.

Soooo pretty...I am hungry looking at all of this lovely candy and the way it is displayed is simply elegant. Thanks for stopping over at my blog! Loving yours!
ReplyDeleteI am oozing with envy right now! The Amy Atlas website is just amazing. I just bought my first pretty apothecary jar, and I love it. I found it for only $7, so not only was I excited for the find, but for the great price. I can see how this could be an obsession:) Thanks for sharing such inspiring pictures!

I love these! The colors are so beautiful - and what a great use for the jars. Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteThe candy and the jars are so pretty. I am looking for old fashioned candy for a tea party I will do in October. I want it to be girly and pink.
ReplyDeleteSwimwear, hummm, I worked for many years for a swimwear company called Jantzen. Heard of it?
Great post! I always have a few candy jars around my home. My favourite is a Nigella Lawson jar thats quite large, but an excuse to buy too many sweets to fill it. I use Douwe Egberts coffee so do as you suggest in using them too. My favourite jars are always in the US, so I will have a look at the website you suggest to see what they have on offer. Thanks for the information X
ReplyDeleteI adore Amy Atlas' candy tables!! And I covet the footed apothecary jars!!

ReplyDeleteHi Torie, thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a lovely comment.
ReplyDeleteI so love this post - the beautiful jars filled with sweetness. I have a weakness for glass jars, and have far more than I have room for. My problem with filling them with all the yummy stuff is...I want to eat it.:(
Have a wonderful weekend.
I'm sure I was Willy Wonka in a previous life as I'd love to have an old fashion sweetshop! I just love apothecary jars but they're so pricey in the UK!

Hi Tori, I love the candy jars, I am looking to buy some, but dont find it too easy here in europe, do you know if the ones you have on your blog from chefs are still available?, they are gorgeous but i cant find them in their catalog.

As you’re browsing around for fixtures and other display tools, pay attention to the kinds of examples the wholesalers provide within the descriptions of their fixtures.
