Transparent + Frosted Candle Jars: A Simple Combo for Prettier Homemade Candles

The Azlok Transparent + Frosted Candle Jar Combo Pack is a two-piece glass jar set — one clear jar and one frosted jar, each with a 100 ml capacity, measuring roughly 5.8 cm wide by 6 cm tall and topped with its own glass lid. It is built for pouring homemade candles, but it doubles neatly as a small storage jar or a decorative accent. Priced at around ₹149 for a single combo, it is an easy way to test two finishes before you commit to a full batch.
What you get in the combo
Each pack contains two glass jars of the same size, one see-through and one with the soft, misted frosted look. Both come with a matching glass lid, which keeps dust off finished candles and gives stored contents a clean seal. The 100 ml size is compact — think a small votive or a single-scent tester rather than a large three-wick candle.
- Total jars: 2 (1 transparent + 1 frosted)
- Capacity: 100 ml each
- Material: glass, with a glass lid per jar
- Approx. weight: 210 g for the pair
- Available as: 1, 5 or 10 combo packs
Best uses
These jars are versatile enough to earn a place on more than one shelf.
- Candle making: pour soy wax, beeswax or paraffin with your chosen wick and fragrance. The clear jar shows off layered or coloured wax; the frosted jar softens candlelight for a gentle glow.
- Home decor: use them as tealight holders, small vases for a single stem, or to hold fairy lights.
- Storage: the lids make them handy for spices, seeds, saffron threads, jewellery, buttons or bathroom cotton buds.
- Gifting: a hand-poured candle in a matched pair looks thoughtful without much effort.
How to make a candle in these jars
- Wash and dry the jar thoroughly. Any moisture or dust can spoil the finish.
- Fix a pre-waxed wick to the base with a wick sticker or a dab of hot glue, and centre it using a wick holder or a clothes peg laid across the rim.
- Melt your wax in a double boiler and let it cool to the temperature your wax recommends before adding fragrance or dye.
- Pour slowly into the jar, leaving a small gap below the rim so there is room for the flame.
- Let it set at room temperature — avoid a fridge, which can crack the glass or cause an uneven top.
- Trim the wick to about 5–6 mm before the first burn.
Because the jar is only 100 ml, one pack is a good size for testing new scents. Azlok also stocks fragrance oils, waxes and wicks, so you can source your whole project in one place.
Safety and care tips
- Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from children, pets and curtains.
- Place lit jars on a heat-safe surface. Glass gets hot — let it cool fully before moving or refilling.
- Stop burning when about 1 cm of wax remains at the base to avoid overheating the glass.
- Do not pour boiling-hot wax straight into a cold jar; a sudden temperature jump can crack glass.
- Wash gently by hand. Sudden temperature changes and hard knocks are the usual causes of chipping.
Buying and storage
If you are just starting out, the single combo is enough to trial both finishes. Hobbyists and small businesses will find the 5 or 10 combo packs more economical for regular batches. Store empty jars in their box or wrapped in tissue so the rims do not chip, and keep lids with their jars. Being made of glass, they last well if handled with a little care, and they can be reused many times over.
FAQ
How much wax does each jar hold?
Each jar has a 100 ml capacity. In practice you will use slightly less than that once you leave headroom below the rim for the flame, so plan for roughly 80–90 grams of wax depending on the type.
What is the difference between the transparent and frosted jar?
The transparent jar is clear glass that shows the wax and flame directly, while the frosted jar has a matte, misted surface that diffuses light for a softer glow. Both are the same size and both include a glass lid.
Can I use these jars for storage instead of candles?
Yes. With their lids on, they work well for spices, saffron, small craft supplies or jewellery. Wash and dry them before switching from candle use to food storage.
Are the jars reusable?
They are. Once a candle finishes, clean out the leftover wax with warm soapy water, dry the jar and pour a fresh candle or repurpose it for storage.
Which pack size should I choose?
Pick the single combo to try both finishes, and step up to the 5 or 10 combo packs if you make candles regularly or run a small home business.
