The Lollipop Jar: A Nod to Nostalgia and New Beginnings

We are thrilled to share with you the exciting reintroduction of a beloved classic: the Lollipop Jar! This delightful creation holds a special place in our hearts, as it was one of the original designs from the Coton Colors collection.  

After a brief hiatus from our product line, we are overjoyed to announce that the Lollipop Jar is now offered in our updated Signature White Collection.

According to Laura Johnson, our Founding Artist and CEO, this modern rendition of the beloved jar in the classic Signature White color palette adds a contemporary flair while maintaining the timeless charm that made the original so beloved.  

Read on to learn more about the design’s history and inspiration behind the creation, discover the meaning behind the name, and learn how to style them in your home. 

 

The Story Behind the Lollipop Jar Name 

 

The story behind The Lollipop Jar is one of fond memories and cherished moments, according to Laura.

It all began years ago when she first started creating pottery. She stumbled upon a raw clay sculpture of a charming round jar with a lid and a round knob, and  couldn't resist painting it in all different color stripes. It quickly became a staple in the Johnson home, and Kyle, Sara Kate, and Mary, her three daughters, affectionately dubbed it the "Lollipop Jar" after the sweet treats it held. 

 

A New Meaning Behind the Design 

 

Speaking of family, the inspiration behind the product name "Lollipop Jar" holds a special and new significance to Laura and her family. 

As a brand-new grandmother to Emma, Laura said she couldn't help but feel that the arrival of the Lollipop Jar was perfectly timed. It's a testament to the cyclical nature of life — new beginnings intertwined with cherished memories.  

As a family-based lifestyle brand, we love connecting the little details of our lives to our designs – so the launch of the “Lollipop Jar” following Emma’s birth was an endearing connection.

About Signature White Lollipop Jars 

 

Regarding the memorable shape in its early days, there was something about its shape and style that just resonated with Laura; it felt like a natural extension of her own aesthetic. 

Available in two sizes, Medium and Large, the ceramic Lollipop Jar is a fitting addition to the Signature White Collection with its original design and the signature of Laura on the bottom.

Kitchen Counter Storage – Store these jars on your kitchen counter to hold coffee pods, tea bags, baking necessities like flour or sugar, or even favorite treats like – shockingly, enough – lollipops!  

Vase or Container for Flowers or Plants - Remove the lid from the jar and transform it into a stylish vase for cut flowers or container for potted plants. For potted plants, take care to add drainage (click here to learn how) in the bottom before potting. We love ferns or even orchids.  

Bathroom Counter Storage – Stow a set of Lollipop Jars on your vanity or bathroom counter to make storing Q-Tips, cotton balls, makeup wipes, or self-care products extra stylish.  

Coffee Table Storage – One way to elevate coffee stable storage is to use a jar to hold TV or speaker remotes.  

Decor {or hidden storage within shelves} - Display your Lollipop Jars as decorative pieces, or hide knick knacks inside. We also recommend purchasing multiple sets to display down the center of your dining table or on top of a console table or sideboard throughout your home for a decorative statement.
