8 oz Glass Muth Jar
The 8 oz Glass Muth Jar carries the same design history as the 16 oz version — the embossed sides, the tapered neck, the cork closure that predates threaded lids in honey retail. It holds approximately 8 oz (227 g) of honey by weight, or about ⅔ cup. The fluid volume is 5.34 fl oz, but like all honey-specific jars, it's sized and marketed by honey weight.
At half a pound per jar, this is the size that works for gift sets, holiday samplers, and farmers market tables where customers want to try something before committing to a full pound. You can display both the 8 oz and the 16 oz Muth jars together as a natural pairing — many customers who buy one size end up ordering both.
The jar seals with a cork. We sell the 8 oz Muth Jar Corks separately. One thing that matters: the 8 oz cork is a different size from the 16 oz cork — they are not interchangeable. If you're running both jar sizes, you'll need to order corks separately for each. It's the most common ordering mistake on the Muth line, and we'd rather tell you upfront than have you get the wrong size.
Key Features
- Heritage design — same embossed, tapered-neck Muth form made since the 1880s. The 8 oz is the half-pound companion to the 16 oz Muth Jar.
- 8 oz honey capacity by weight — holds approximately 227 g (⅔ cup) of honey; 5.34 fl oz by volume.
- Cork closure — no threads, no metal lid. Seals with a natural cork. 8 oz Muth Jar Corks sold separately.
- Embossed glass sides — the embossed detail catches light and adds visual depth that a plain jar doesn't have.
- Gift and sample format — half a pound is the right size for gift sets, holiday samplers, and market trials.
- Pairs with the 16 oz Glass Muth Jar — commonly sold together or displayed as a size pair.
Cork Size Note
The 8 oz Muth jar requires the 8 oz Muth Jar Corks. The 16 oz jar uses a larger cork. The two are not interchangeable — if you order 16 oz corks for this jar, they won't fit. If you're running both sizes, order corks for each separately.
Shipping Note
Glass jars are available for local pickup at our store in Birmingham, Alabama, or can be shipped via ground or freight. Shipping glass is at the customer's risk — we're not responsible for breakage in transit, but you can add shipping insurance at checkout.
