FYI-Libbey Status Jars

[Labgal]

I was in a local restaurant supply place today to see if I could piggy back on their Libbey glassware order to save on shipping. I have been testing the 8 ounce Status jars and was ready to order some cases. When he pulled up the jar info on his computer, he told me it indicated that this jar would be discontinued when their current inventory is exhausted. He said it was the 8 ounce only-not the larger one.Anyone that uses these heard this? I certanly am not going to change jars if they are going to be discontinued!!! All that testing down the tubes!!!!!

Please say it ain't so! I just ordered the 8 and 12 oz status jars to begin testing with in hopes of them being my new containers.

humm well hopefully its just the store that will be discontinued and not actually Libbey

I also checked w/ my restaurant supply & they order directly from Libbey, so my guess would be that Libbey is discontinuing that size. That's a shame, especially since it's the 12oz size that won't burn correctly for the majority of candle makers! Must be a money issue, or they plan to introduce something new that is too close to that style.

This is a major bummer, I just spent the last year testing these . The good news is I've also been testing some import knockoffs which seem to be a very good quality...sigh, life is all about change!
