mystical_angel1219 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Check The Candlemakers store, Candlewic and Fairway glass.TV Guilfoil sells frosted glass as well. I caution you that frosted glass is not all that in the looks department over time. Wet spots and poor adhesion to the max in my experience. I would suggest buying a case to try, first.

Georgia Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Did you call The Jar Store and ask for samples? They will send them if you call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firegirl Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I would go to www.fairwayglass.us. You will love the prices and they may have a warehouse close to you. I buy about 35 cases of jars at a time and they always have them in the warehouse. I believe they have the special ordering info on the site as well for frosted jars. The customer service is the BEST! The prices on the website are higher than for larger purchases. I pay a lot less than the website prices. I would ask for Ron if you call.. but he is out of town till Monday. You can call them and they are also great about shipping you free samples to test!

hometowncandles Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I used the exact jars you are looking at for Christmas. I would strongly advise against it. The 5 ounce ones are ok, but the larger sizes break soooo easy. You can just barely bump two together, full or empty and they will crack to pieces. But now I use the clear ones from the jar store and absolutely love them. I think the process of frosting them weakens the glass.

grama Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 What about the straight apoth jars with flat lids - candlescience has the 5,8,16,26 oz ones or status jar. I like the tumblers with lid and I think Greenleaf might have them with matching lids or something. I use the silver lids from Yes for my tumblers and they look good. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Man Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 TVG Glass in NY has them but the 5oz is as you described. I don't think you will find a matching 5oz in the apothecary. They have matching in 10, 16 & 26oz apoth. They have a new process for the frosting and you get no fingerprints on the outside, like the old process, and they are very thick strong glass.Their web site is not working, but you cant order off their site anyhow, you have to call (315) 453-0920. They will send out samples, and they have min. orders of 18 cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
