The amphora was the shipping and storage vessel of the ancient Mediterranean, used for oil, wine and preserved foods. A jar that echoes its tapered, shouldered profile — here complete with two small glass side handles — inherits all of that association: craft, provenance and the Mediterranean pantry.
It is a shape-led jar. Buyers choose it because the silhouette tells a premium story before anyone reads the label.
Antipasti, sun-dried tomatoes, pesto and pasta sauces, olives and capers, chutneys and preserves, confit and rillettes. It is widely used in delis, specialty retail and hamper gifting, where the jar earns its higher cost through presentation.
Many of these fills are oil-covered or acidic, both of which glass handles well, supporting a long and attractive shelf life. After use, the handled jar often stays in the kitchen as a utensil or herb pot.
A rounded, tapered body with a defined shoulder narrows to a lug-finish neck for a twist-off cap, and the side handles are molded as part of the jar. Embossed motifs are common to add to the artisanal feel, and some ranges finish the neck with a wax dip as an extra craft cue.
The taper and shoulder call for careful glass distribution so the wall stays even from belly to neck.
Oil-packed and acidic gourmet products are usually hot-filled or pasteurized. Keep headspace consistent so the lug cap pulls a clean vacuum, and for oil-covered products make sure solids are fully submerged before sealing.
Wax-dipped necks are decorative only and go on after capping — the cap makes the seal. Place labels on the belly, clear of the handles and any embossing.
Press-and-blow forming creates the wide-mouth tapered body, with the blow mold carrying the shoulder profile, handles and any embossing. After annealing, the lug finish is gauged for cap fit and the sealing surface inspected, since most fills rely on a vacuum seal.
We can add embossed motifs, print caps in gold, black or your brand colors, and supply gift trays and boxes. Send us your fill and we’ll match the size and cap.
