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.
