Retro Refreshment Containers

Miniature Glass Milk Bottles Add a Twist to Liquids

On principle, cookies belong with milk and delicious dairy drinks belong in miniature glass milk bottles. These retro-inspired glasses will transport you back to the good old days when milk came in glass jars, instead of plastic packages and when pin-curls were all the rage.

Although these glasses might be advertised for use as beverage containers, they also make cutesy containers for flowers, proliferating pen collections and kitchen utensils. With a small, sturdy and solid design, these miniature glass milk bottles are a unique and quirky way to give your little ones their liquids.

Available as a case of 12 beautiful bottles, these 6 ounce glasses are equipped to hold milkshakes, soda pop or the famous companion of Oreos -- milk. Keep your kitchen classy with these 50s diner-inspired glasses by Bakeitpretty.com.
