8 oz Muth Jar — Single, With Cork
A single 8 oz Muth honey jar with a natural cork stopper — the same vintage square design as our case of 12, available as a single for testing, replacements, or very small bottling runs. Holds 8 oz of honey by weight.
Features
- 1 jar with matching natural cork stopper
- Embossed "Eight Ounces Pure Honey" with beehive/skep motif on the front panel
- Square shape with smooth sides for adhesive labels
- Clear flint glass — shows off honey color and clarity
- Holds 8 oz of honey by weight (half a pound)
How it works in real life
Most beekeepers buy 8 oz Muth jars by the case, but the single is useful for three situations: testing the size before committing to a case, replacing a jar that broke or got contaminated, or finishing a tiny batch where you only need one or two more jars to close out a bottling run. The single ships with one cork — add a shrink band separately if you want the full tamper-evident finish.
Before you order
The 8 oz refers to honey weight, not fluid ounces — this jar holds 8 oz of honey by weight (half a pound). For volume bottling, the case of 12 (with corks and bands included) is the better value. This single does not include a shrink band — order shrink bands separately if you need tamper-evident sealing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy a single jar instead of a case?
Singles are for testing the size, replacing a broken jar, or closing out a bottling run with just a few extra jars. The case of 12 is the better value for production bottling — it includes 12 jars, 12 corks, and 12 shrink bands at a lower per-jar price.
Is the cork included?
Yes — each single ships with one matching natural cork stopper. The shrink band is sold separately if you want a tamper-evident finish.
Will my labels fit?
Yes. The square shape gives you smooth side panels for adhesive labels (label panel height: 2.75").
Is the cork reusable?
Yes if it's in good shape. Wash with warm water, let dry completely before reuse. Replace any cork that's cracked or won't seat firmly.
