16 oz Glass Classic Jars
The 16 oz Glass Classic Jar is the one-pound honey jar. It's the shape most people picture when they think of a glass honey container — tapered sides, oval profile, clear glass from rim to base. That design has been standard in honey retail for decades because it works. The jar shows off what's inside, fits clean labels, and feels substantial in a customer's hand without being heavy or awkward to pour from.
Worth knowing before you order: this jar holds approximately 10.67 fluid ounces by volume, but it's labeled and sold as a 16 oz jar because honey is measured and sold by weight. A full jar weighs approximately 16 oz (454 grams), or about 1⅓ cups. If you're planning a harvest and need to estimate quantities, use our honey jar calculator before you order.
