bada95 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hello all, I hope I'm posting this in the right section.I'm looking for small (2 oz) apothacary jars. The kind some of the big compaines sell, I think they're also known as a sample size jar. I've found the hex jars, but would really like the others. Is there anyone who can point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Angela7 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 In an apothecary, the smallest I've seen is 5 oz. Is this what you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 In an apothecary, the smallest I've seen is 5 oz. Me too. They sell the 5 oz here. Scroll down just a bit to see them.

bada95 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thank you all for the response. The smallest I've been able to find is 4oz. But I know that Y... Candle sells the small sample jars. I think they're 2oz, maybe 1.5. I thought maybe I'd be able to find them online, but no such luck, at least not in the apothecary jar, lots and lots of the hex jelly type though:smiley2: . It could be something they have made just for them. Thanks for your help Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottabt Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Are you sure that the 2oz does not reflect the net weight? I have a 5oz apothecary but with how it is shaped maybe the 2oz is the weight not the fluid volume of the jar. You may want to order a sample of the 5oz since it might be exactly what you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bada95 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 I orderd some 4oz jars, and these are much too large. They're nice, but not exactly what I was looking for. I was looking for something that could be given away as a sample, or even slipped inside a stocking. The jars are small, I'd say that they'd hold the same amount of wax as a votive. The only other thing I could compare them to would be those sample jellies that are in those sausage and cracker gift things, sometimes given as gifts around the holidays :undecided .The only place I've seen these jars is at the Y candle shop.I even had a few at one time, but that was long before the candle making bug got ahold of me.I know I can find the small jelly jar in 2 oz,which is what I'll probably end up with, but the apothecary jars just seem to have a nicer look to them, IMO.Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinInOR Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Specialty Bottle has a bunch of smaller jars that can be usedhttp://www.specialtybottle.com/ some of the multifaceted jars are cute. Don't know if the neck would be too small, though, probably the straight side would work better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bada95 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 Thank you:smiley2: . That and another site is where I found the 1.5 and 2 oz jars. I could be completely off, but I'm almost positive the jars I'm looking for is that size. I went to the Y Candle site and the smallest jar they have is a 3.75oz. But the jars I have filled in my kitchen hold 4oz, and that's not the size I had long ago. The jars I had in the past would have been half the size of the 4oz jar.Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bada95 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Share Posted August 17, 2005 Thank you everyone for your help:) .I've been looking all over for those small jars, and driving everyone in my home crazy:p . The sites that were sent were very helpful. Wicking them is a whole differnt game though lol. The ones that are almost too small to wick might be nice for the people who like a wickless candle. Those seem to be real popular here.Bethany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
