Abstract
A rack to hold cylindrical containers such as large spice jars has a plurality of pairs of resilient arms extending out from a back panel to form semi-cylindrical holders. Each holder has a pair of bridges filling the spaces between the rear of the semi-cylindrical holder and the back panel so as to strengthen the arms without adding to their thickness. Each holder has a plurality of inwardly-extending projections to catch under the lid of a jar to hold it even more securely.
