12 oz Glass Skep Honey Jars - 12 Count Case - Lids Included

A glass honey jar shaped like a traditional straw skep — the most recognizable beekeeping symbol there is. Case of 12 with matching gold lids included. The silhouette signals "real honey from a real beekeeper" before a customer even reads the label, which is why these sell well at farmers markets, roadside stands, and craft fairs.

Features

• 12 jars per case
• 12 matching gold metal lids included (53 CT finish)
• 12 fl oz capacity — holds about 1 lb (16 oz) of honey by weight
• Glass skep silhouette — traditional straw beehive form
• Flat front panel for label placement
• Clear flint glass shows honey color and quality

How it works in real life

The skep shape is what beekeepers reach for when they want packaging that looks like the honey came from a beekeeper, not a factory. The form references the traditional straw skep hive used for centuries before modern Langstroth equipment came along. At a farmers market table, the silhouette reads "honey" from twenty feet away — and it commands a higher price point than plain Mason or Queenline jars. The flat front panel takes labels cleanly. The included gold lid completes the gift-ready look.

Before you order

The 12 oz refers to fluid volume, not honey weight. Honey is denser than water, so a 12 fl oz skep jar holds about 16 oz (1 lb) of honey by weight. At markets you'll commonly see these labeled as "1 lb honey skep jars" when filled. The included lid uses a 53 CT (continuous thread) finish — not a lug finish — so replacement lids need to match that thread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this jar only for honey?

The skep shape is most associated with honey, but the jar holds anything liquid or semi-solid — syrup, jam, jelly, body butter, candle wax. For market sales, honey is the natural fit.

What size honey does this jar represent?

By honey weight, this is a 1 lb (16 oz) jar. The "12 oz" on the title refers to fluid volume, which is industry convention for glass jar sizing.

Will the lid fit other jars in your catalog?

No — the 53 CT finish isn't shared with our hex jars (43/58/63-LUG) or Muth jars (cork-finished). Replacement lids must match 53 CT.

Is the lid food-safe?

Yes — gold metal with a food-grade liner suitable for honey, jam, and other shelf-stable foods.

Do they ship safely?

Yes — shipped in the original case packaging with internal partitions. 6.5 lbs per case.
