The 100 ML Yankee Candle Jar: A Small Glass Jar That Works Hard for Candle Makers

The Yankee Candle Jar from Azlok is a 100 ML clear glass container with a matching glass lid, made for pouring your own small container candles at home or for a small business. At ₹149 a piece and measuring roughly 5.8 cm wide and 6 cm tall, it is a compact, tidy size that suits sample candles, gifts and decorative pieces without wasting wax.
What this jar is good for
This is a versatile little jar. Because the glass is transparent, it shows off coloured wax, layered pours and embeds beautifully, and the lid keeps dust out and fragrance in between burns.
- Container candles: soy, coconut, beeswax or paraffin blends all pour comfortably into 100 ML.
- Tester and sample candles: a small size is perfect for trying new fragrance oils before committing to bigger batches.
- Wedding, festive and return gifts: the lidded jar looks finished and travels well.
- Home decor and storage: once cleaned, it holds spices, matchsticks, cotton buds or trinkets.
How to make a candle in this jar
A 100 ML jar takes roughly 80–90 grams of wax, depending on the wax type and how full you pour. Here is a simple method:
- Wash and dry the jar fully. Any moisture can spoil adhesion.
- Fix a pre-tabbed wick to the base with a wick sticker or a dab of hot glue, and centre it.
- Melt your wax in a double boiler to the temperature recommended for that wax.
- Once slightly cooled, add fragrance oil at the maker's suggested percentage (commonly 6–10%) and stir gently for two minutes.
- Pour steadily into the jar, leaving about 1 cm of space at the top.
- Hold the wick straight with a clip or two chopsticks and let it set at room temperature, away from draughts.
- Trim the wick to about 5 mm before the first burn.
For a clean look, use the right wick size for the diameter. Too large a wick can cause sooting; too small leaves a tunnel of unmelted wax around the edge.
Safety and burning tips
Glass candle jars are safe when used sensibly, but a few habits matter.
- Always burn on a heat-resistant surface and never leave a lit candle unattended.
- Keep the first burn long enough for the wax to melt across the full surface, which prevents tunnelling.
- Do not burn for more than about four hours at a stretch; let the jar cool before relighting.
- Trim the wick each time to reduce smoke and mushrooming.
- Handle the jar only when the wax has cooled, as glass holds heat.
- Keep lit candles and hot wax away from children and pets.
The lid is meant for storing an unlit candle, not for extinguishing a flame or covering a jar that is still warm. Let it cool first.
Buying and storage
Azlok offers this jar in packs of 2, 20 and 100, so you can start small for a hobby or buy in bulk for a candle business or event. Because it is made in India and sold in flexible quantities, it works equally well for a weekend project and a festive season order.
- Store empty jars in their box, away from dust and sudden temperature changes.
- Inspect each jar for chips or cracks before pouring hot wax.
- To reuse a jar, freeze leftover wax so it pops out, then wash with warm soapy water.
- Keep lids matched to jars so your finished candles look uniform.
