These $1 “Gorgeous” Dollar Tree Glassware Gems Are a Take on This 200-Year-Old Trend (So Vintage!)

Who doesn’t love a touch of vintage in their space? Even the smallest relics of the past can add character and charm to your home’s atmosphere. These old-school gems don’t have to be flashy or massive to draw the eye in, either. In fact, some of the most gorgeous pieces are the simplest — like these vintage glass plates and this clear glass bottle with a flip-top metal clasp that runs just $1.25 at Dollar Tree. Hello, beautiful! 

As seen in this TikTok, the glass bottle features flip-top metal clasps with a rubber stopper and brings an elegant vintage touch to any room. This gem is a must-have for storing things like mineral water and homemade salad dressing, but it also doubles as a totally retro decor piece. Make it a rustic floral vase with some fresh wildflowers or dried flowers and place it on your coffee or dining table. Or, grab a few bottles and paint them different colors to create a rainbow of vintage glassware for your mantel. 

This bottle style first became popular in the late 1800s and kept things like oil, vinegar, soda, and beer fresh in kitchens across the world (pre-refrigeration). It phased out of the mainstream in the mid-20th century as less expensive packaging materials like plastic and aluminum developed, but the style’s come back in recent years to give kitchens a nice dose of nostalgia. People also use it to keep fermented items like kombucha tasting oh-so-good, thanks to its airtight design. 

Oh, and have I mentioned it’s perfect for organizing your kitchen and home? It’s amazing for storing herbs and spices and will help keep them smelling and tasting good longer. You can also store dry pasta or rice in it for a unique spin on pantry organization. It also makes for a versatile organizer around the home; use it in the craft room to store paint brushes or beads, or in the bathroom to elegantly store cotton balls or swabs. The possibilities are endless — and totally chic. 

If you can’t find this glassware gem in-store, or you don’t live near a Dollar Tree, the brand sells the style online in sets of 12. If you’re looking for a smaller quantity, Amazon has similar bottles that come in quantities of six in both clear and amber for a few dollars more. Which is still a terrific deal! Grab it in time for the holidays to serve and organize with style.
