CandleCrush Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Apperently I'm obsessed with candle glass, always on the look out for cool jars or new styles besides the traditional apothecary jars. So what's your favorite glassware? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I used to have too many styles, now I love my lil 11.5oz tumblers from Peaks. I also have the Roman Urn from Dollar tree, that I double wick. Plus for special orders I love really big 4-6lb (I triple wick) cylinder containers I get from Marshalls.I use the libby cubes I get from Dollar tree for my Twilight line.6oz gold Travel tinsI used to have several more, but it became too much to keep up with.

NaturallyTru Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Do you double wick the 11.5oz? I'm looking for something new. My frosted colored tumblers with silver lids are running out. I also like the straight sided jars that have the screw on silver lug lid. Thinking about those. sks has those.Trudi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandleCrush Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 That may be the hardest part, finding a reliable supplier for glassware. The big manuf. have distributors who only carry selected styles and the little guys discontinue your favs just when you find what you like.I have been using the salsa jars but they are getting harder to find. Recently I have been using Fillmore containers and they have a pretty good selection of glass and lids.Would love to design my own jars, but that's not cheap!!!

PAgirl89 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I've been indecisive on what glassware I want to use too. Fillmore has some really good prices and they are fairly close (about an hour a way) to where I am, so I save on shipping costs. But some of the styles I'd like to try, Fillmore doesn't carry so I have to look elsewhere.Right now I'm using 10oz Apothecary with wood lids, 8oz Mason with rust lids, and 4oz Taper jars with rust lids. I'm always on the look out for new styles to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAgirl89 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Oh those are really nice, Kyme! Did you use a clear label for those? I've been using the brown kraft labels from Label By the Sheet.Shown are 7oz straight jars, 12oz straight jars, and 10oz with glass lids.I like these jars, I was wanting a different look. I wish the straight jars would work with other lids besides the silver or gold metal twist type lids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bigger containers are expensive to ship and just becoming more impracticable these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAgirl89 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Thanks. I was thinking of going with 4oz, 8oz and a 10oz for my soy candles. I thought 9oz and 12oz straight jars for my wickless candles. I don't want to go bigger than a 12oz. The one stoneware crock that I made uses 18oz of wax. Though they're nice and some people like the stoneware, I think I'd sell more glass jars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandleCrush Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 Yep my large is 12 oz straight. The smaller jars burn better too with less smoke and soot with the smaller wicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the reason I have stayed away from containers, because what I would pick would be discontinued lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tou candles look really nice, love the salsa ones; I used to use Kraft labels too. But now I use a seal (looks like a wax seal, but is made from paper clay) for my regular candles.

NaturallyTru Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 kyme and pagirl: Love your jars!I carry 8.5oz frosted tumblers with silver lid $10 and 12oz beanpot with chrome handle lid $12. The 8.5 outsells the 12 by far! I believe it is the price. So I am looking for jars around 8-9oz and then maybe a smaller size.

lsbennis Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I love the Salsa Jars but got tired of chasing them around so now I stick with the libby rocks tumblers cause I know I can always get them! But have to admit I do have a thing for the mason jars...lol :rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleasureridgecandles Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Anyone know of any glass suppliers near Nashville or Memphis TN?Aztek is in Knoxville. I make a trip there twice a year and stock up on jars and wax, you know the stuff that's expensive to ship when you get a large quantity. They are super nice and great customer service.

quietgirl2004 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Those who are getting the 11 oz tumblers from Peaks, what are you using for lids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyme1911 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Those who are getting the 11 oz tumblers from Peaks, what are you using for lids?At the moment none, but I just found that Lonestar carries some that will fit them. So I am thrilled, even though that means I will have to adjust my candle price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have to admit I do have a thing for the mason jars...lol :rolleyes2I love the little 8oz Mason jars. And I can use a couple different types of lids with them too. Different lids make different looks and potentially different customers buying them. I use them for smelly jellies with daisy lids and for soy candles with either pewter lids or the rust lids. They are definitely a keeper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen M Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I use hex jars and jelly jars. I wanted to get the victorian jars but they cost so much more.I want to try and keep costs down. Fillmore has great prices and even if you have to get it shipped they will help you with the best deal on shipping.I have some tins to test, but I have yet to start testing them.Some jars are so expensive, it is a wonder you can make any $$, LOL!
