Glass Jars for Buffet Display
Cornflakes, granola, almonds, cookies, jelly beans. Every breakfast buffet has a row of things that guests need to see but should not touch with bare hands. Glass jars for buffet counters do that job well: the food stays visible, the lid keeps it covered, and the counter still looks neat at the end of a long service.
Makrey has supplied buffet and breakfast counter pieces to Indian hotels since 1981. This collection has clear glass jars with lids for hotel buffets, café counters and candy or dessert stations.
Our Glass Jars with Lids for Hotel Counters
Clamp Glass Jars
Clamp jars close with a hinged wire clamp, so the lid stays attached to the jar and never goes missing on a busy counter. They suit cereals, nuts, dry fruits and toppings that guests open again and again through breakfast.
Airtight Glass Jars with Lids
Our airtight glass jars with lids keep granola, muesli, cookies and tea-time snacks crisp between refills. Straight-sided jars line up neatly in a row, which makes a breakfast counter easy to read at a glance.
Decorative Glass Jars for Cafés and Dessert Stations
The Primizie and Flexy glass jars give cafés and bakery counters a more decorative look for biscotti, macarons and sweets.
Buffet Display Jars: How to Set Them Up
- Group jars by meal. Keep cereals next to the milk jug, and cookies with the tea station.
- Use different heights. Put taller jars at the back, or lift a few on risers and elevations, so every jar is visible.
- Give every jar a scoop or tongs, so guests never reach in by hand.
- Label each jar, especially nuts and allergens, with buffet tag holders.
Candy Jars for Buffet and Wedding Dessert Tables
Candy jars for buffet and wedding dessert tables work best in odd numbers, three or five jars of different heights, filled to the top with one colour of sweet each. A full jar looks generous; a half-empty one looks forgotten, so refill before the level drops below half.
Pair Glass Jars with the Rest of the Counter
For cereals in larger volumes, see our cereal and juice dispensers. Keep milk and juice in our glass milk and juice jugs, and tea bags in tea boxes. For pickles and chutneys, our ceramic martabans are the better choice, as they keep light out.
Caring for Glass Jars
Wash glass jars and lids by hand with warm water and mild soap. Take the rubber seal off clamp jars now and then, wash it separately and let it dry before refitting. Dry each jar fully before filling, as damp glass makes cereals and biscuits go soft.
Glass Jars for Hotels and Cafés
A breakfast buffet usually needs several jars in matching styles, so most hotels order by counter rather than by piece. Tell us how many counters you are setting up and our team will quote, with GST billing and delivery across India. For the rest of the buffet, browse our hotel and banquet buffetware.
Glass Jar FAQs
Which glass jars are best for a hotel breakfast buffet?
Clamp jars and airtight glass jars with lids work best, as they keep cereals and nuts fresh between refills and the lid cannot go missing.
How many candy jars do I need for a dessert table?
Three or five jars of different heights look best. Fill each with one kind of sweet so the colours stand out.
Can glass jars be used for pickles on a buffet?
They can, but ceramic martabans are better for pickles and chutneys, as they block light and suit oily, spiced food.
