Storage jars and sugar bowls — glass, crystal and elegant serving
Jars and sugar bowls are the pieces of a table setting that change the daily rituals. Coffee tastes better with a good-looking sugar bowl beside it, and sweets look more tempting in an elegant, lidded dish. This category gathers pieces that combine practical storage with an effect on the table, in glass and in crystal alike.
You will find forms made for sugar, sugar cubes, biscuits and pralines. There are classic sugar bowls, and jars with a lid — call it a lid, a cover or a top, as you prefer. There are also decorative vessels that many people simply call a sweet jar.
Sugar bowls for coffee and tea
A sugar bowl earns its place whenever you want sugar to hand and served neatly, with no open packets on the worktop. Glass models look light and sit well in modern interiors. Crystal ones lend elegance even to the simplest serving.
Lidded jars — for sweets and more
A closed jar is the most versatile option. It can hold sweets, pralines or biscuits, and sometimes small extras for serving. The lid keeps things tidy, and it simply looks neat.
It also protects what is inside from drying out and from picking up other smells, so sweets and snacks stay fresh for longer. With a wide choice of shapes and capacities, a jar is easy to match to an elegant table or to everyday use.
Glass or crystal — which to choose?
For everyday use, glass is the safe, versatile choice. When you want something more formal, for a party, a display cabinet or a gift, crystal makes the stronger impression, especially in the light. In the Krosno range, crystal and the luxury collections such as Gemstone and Heritage lend prestige to an interior.
Crystal pieces also work as a decorative accent that draws the eye, even in a simple arrangement.

As a maker with many years of experience in producing and shipping glass, safe delivery is a priority for us. Every parcel goes through several stages of protection — from product quality control, through careful picking and packing, to secure transport with trusted couriers. Products are arranged and secured inside the packaging so that they cannot move in transit. Every parcel is insured as well. If damage still occurs despite our packing standards, you have 7 days to report a claim. We send replacements as quickly as we can, at our cost.
To keep glass clear, bright and looking its best, it is worth reading the care guidelines linked below. Before first use, wash the piece in lukewarm water with a mild detergent, then dry it with a soft cloth. In everyday use, avoid sudden changes of temperature. Do not heat glass above 60°C or chill it quickly. Avoid differences greater than 35°C. Never use these products in a microwave, an oven or a freezer. If a piece is dishwasher safe, choose a glassware programme and use mild detergents and rinse aids. Load the items so that they do not touch. When the cycle ends, take the glass out and let it dry naturally. Larger pieces such as carafes, vases and cake stands are best washed by hand.
Not every product is dishwasher safe. You will always find this information on the product page or on the packaging. The symbol there shows whether a piece is suitable for automatic dishwashers. In most cases, undecorated glassware can go in the dishwasher.
You may return an order within 14 days of receiving it, without giving a reason. To withdraw from the contract, send us an email at e-sklep@krosno.com or a letter to the Seller's address — no special form is required. Once you have notified us, return the product within 14 days, packed securely for transport. The cost of return postage is borne by the customer, unless the applicable regulations state otherwise.
Hand-formed glass is made by experienced master glassmakers who have carried the craft forward for generations. Each piece owes much to human work — from shaping the form to giving it its final character. That is what makes hand-formed glass distinctive, finely detailed and unlike anything else. Every piece has an individual character and a value of its own, while remaining remarkably consistent. Machine production relies on advanced glass-forming technology that delivers high precision, repeatability and efficiency, using top-class machinery. At Krosno Glass we use Blow-Blow technology, which allows us to create elegant pieces of consistent quality. We also use the finest premium lead-free crystal, which gives perfect clarity and durability, and resists clouding.
