Origin & Maker
Bülach Glas, founded in 1860 in Switzerland, became renowned for its high-quality glassware, combining durability with elegant design. The company produced a wide range of products, including tableware, bottles, and the iconic green storage jars of the 1940s. These thick, sturdy jars, made from iron oxide-tinted glass, were essential household items used for preserving food and dry goods. Their signature green colour not only added aesthetic charm but also protected the contents from sunlight.
During the mid-20th century, Bülach Glas played a significant role in Swiss homes, embodying the country’s values of craftsmanship and quality. Today, their green glass jars and the Christmas tree stands are highly sought after by collectors, valued for both their practical use and vintage appeal. These jars represent a timeless design and a connection to Switzerland’s rich industrial heritage, making them a perfect addition to any vintage-inspired kitchen or collection.
