I have searched the usual places, want to be able to sell them on, on my stall, so they need to be reasonably priced.

so they need to be reasonably priced.

If you intend to sell a lot, best to manufacture your own, or have them made by a local pottery.

Wood turners could be another thought with a glass insert.

Maisemore were offering them. Absurdly expensive, I thought, at nearly £10 each IIRC.

Their site seems to be offline at the moment.



All that's really needed is a nice 'notched' lid …

I got 72 one pound honey jars, for £28 from Richmond containers (east killbride) near Glasgow. It could be worth checking if they have other branches. I picked them up myself. But i am sure the carriage to where you are would be competitive. Due to the good summer we had last year, I will have to go for some more next year. Ianf.

Ian - the question is not about standard screw top jars (for which your Association should be able to offer you a rather better price - mine does 72 for just £18).

It is about honey serving pots. Think of a container with a notched lid, so a spoon (or honey lifter) can be left in - like a sugar bowl but rather taller!
Oftentimes these are made in 'decorative' shapes - and the shape of a skep is probably the most common.
