Description :

Beautiful vintage jadeite glass countertop straw holder with chrome lid and matching square jadeite glass storage jar. Finished in a soft translucent mint-green jadeite color, this elegant countertop set evokes the classic diner and soda fountain aesthetic of the mid-20th century.

The taller piece is a straw holder, featuring a chrome lid with center knob and molded geometric detailing near the base. The matching square jar complements the set beautifully and can be used for sugar packets, tea bags, stir sticks, or other kitchen storage.

The larger piece retains its Made in Taiwan label, reflecting quality imported glassware produced during the mid- to late-20th century.

Measurements Approx:

  • Straw holder: Approx. 11 in. H × 3½ in. Dia.
  • Square jar: Approx. 4½ in. H × 2¾ in.

Condition:
Very good vintage condition. One small crack or flaw on the straw holder - see photos. Does not affect the structure or use. Chrome lid shows light age-related wear consistent with normal use. Original Made in Taiwan label remains attached. Please review all photographs.

Historical Note/Fun Fact:
Jadeite glass enjoyed a major revival during the 1960s–1980s as manufacturers recreated the beloved look of Depression-era Fire-King and McKee kitchenware. Straw holders like this were inspired by those found in classic diners and soda fountains, making them popular today with collectors of retro kitchen décor and jadeite glass.

Estimated Value:
$75–125
