1/2 Glass Pint Mason Jar - 8 oz

The 1/2 Pint Glass Mason Jar is the 8 fl oz classic. Most beekeepers know this size well — it's the same jar used for jams and preserves for over a century, and it works just as well for honey. The straight-sided profile, wide mouth, and clear glass make it easy to fill, easy to label, and easy for customers to identify and reach for on a shelf.

At honey density, this jar holds approximately 12 oz (340 g) of honey by weight — about 1 cup. The fluid volume is 8 oz. Like all honey jars, it's sold and measured by honey weight rather than liquid volume, so the weight-based capacity is always larger than what you'd expect if you're thinking in fluid ounces. If you're calculating how many jars you need for a harvest, use our honey jar calculator before ordering.

This jar fits a standard 70mm (70G-450) continuous thread lid — the same size used across the mason jar family. We sell the 70mm Mason Canning Jar Lid separately in gold. It's the most co-purchased item with this jar for good reason — the lid is what completes the jar for retail and storage use.
