They are slightly reminiscent of Victorian times, an era of history I find, in part, to be extremely alluring.
(Notice the reference to "in part." I'd want nothing to do with big puffed out bows on the backs of floor-length dresses Yuck. Nor those contraptions that made a woman's waist look small. Dreadful.)
Storing staples, like rice, sugar, and flour in glass containers makes things look neat and efficient.
I just like the look of such containers, including the huge one for rice, shown below:
It's fun to re-purpose the crystal and glass objects, too.
For instance, a very beautiful cheese cover has served as the cover for butter for quite awhile now. It's sparkly and gorgeous.
Another things that's enjoyable is to scout through thrift stores for pretty accent dishes.
The red "butter" dish, for example, shown above, is perfect Valentine's Day as well as the Christmas holidays.
Why have a plain candy dish when a beauty, like the one shown at the top of the post, can substitute just as well?
The same goes for sugar bowls:
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it has been said.
