Squat, bulbous and full of personality it is hard not to see the appeal in vintage and antique sugar bowls. Cute and curious with their lidded tops and two handled shape, they offer a variety of uses beyond their original intention. Here in the Vintage Kitchen, we like to use them as storage containers, planters and refrigerator jars for homemade spa treatments. They also make great vessels for entertaining - like holding silverware or dips or little nibbles like cheese straws or bread sticks during cocktail hour. Basically they are helpful in a bunch of different ways!
