What are apothecary jars?

Centuries ago, apothecaries were the drugstores of the world. Counter space was at a premium, so it was common for store owners to use large glass jars to get things up and out of the way, all while protecting them in a sealed container and offering a great display method for customers to see their wares.

Today, you won't see apothecary jars at your local pharmacy, but you will see them in homes on kitchen tables, bathroom counters, fireplace mantels, and just about anywhere else in need of some versatile decor. This latest trend in home furnishings allows users to store and display whatever they want, from cottonballs to dinner mints, citrus collections to christmas ornaments.

Apothecary jars by Liz are one-of-a-kind upcycled treasures. Outdated decor items are repurposed as bases, bowls or lids, and the results are stunning vessels that command attention whether alone or in a group. Unlike their plain, all-glass predecessors, Apothecary Jars by Liz offers a new spin on this hot ticket item by coupling the sometimes simple and sometimes ornate clear glass containers with dark metalic lids and bases, thus offering fashionable flair to any space.
