Peggy T Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Has anyone ever used a jar like this for a candle? I like the look (though not this particular color) but am not sure how it would hold up. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Old-Fashioned-Bubble-Glasses-Blue-Bubble_599253666.html?spm=a2700.galleryofferlist.normalList.97.26674313LeUtnW Thanks!

NightLight Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I don’t think you want to use anything with bubble in the glass. The heat from flame can crack the glass and that would be a sorry thing. That includes any of those handblown glasses with bubble as well.

Peggy T Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 That was my worry too. Bummer. I'm on the hunt for unique candle jars with a higher-end, but minimalistic vibe (no electroplating, concrete, marble etc....) Luxury Candles in Australia has some interesting ones....but I'm not in Australia. 🙃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peggy T Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 I knew I had seen a bubble glass-type candle! https://northernlightscandles.com/collections/artisan/products/windward-coconut-husk This is gorgeous! So....now I don't know what to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Would take a good bit of time and testing, but with a cooler burning candle wax it could be OK. Buying stuff through alibaba is like buying a pig in a poke, though. You dont always get what you think you see, and orders may or may not match from one to the next depending on Supply at the time.

Peggy T Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 I already have a relationship with a packaging exporter who has sourced candle tins for me but I'd need to be able to show him what I want. I use AliBaba as a way to get an idea of what is available then contact him to help me get what I need. But before I order a ton I need to test a bunch and make sure it fits my needs (and works properly, obviously). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlekrazy Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Those are new and that bubble glass may be ok if you can source them without buying a ton and having shipped from China so you can properly test it out. The vintage bubble glass is not a good idea, even wicked properly I had one crack on me while testing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
