Products · Candle vessels & holders
Jason Craft develops and manufactures custom candle vessels in glass and ceramic for candle brands, retailers and importers in North America. Glass vessels are machine-formed or hand-blown in Vietnam, ceramic vessels are made in Vietnam and China, and we can deliver the vessel alone or as a finished, filled candle with the lid and packaging.

Ranges depend on the design, decoration and season. China production is quoted item by item. We confirm exact MOQ and timing when we quote.
Glass · Vietnam, with tooling in China
Automatic, semi-automatic, hand-blown, centrifugal and press lines cover everything from a straight-sided tumbler at high volume to a hand-blown art-glass vessel in small runs. Machine forming keeps wall thickness and dimensions consistent, which a filling line and a lid both depend on.
Ceramic · Vietnam and China
Stoneware and porcelain vessels, cast or jiggered, with the glaze often doing the selling. Ceramic is where we see the most demand for a second origin: Vietnam now handles tableware-grade ceramic vessels, and China keeps the deepest range of shapes and finishes.
Glass: spray color inside or out, frosting, embossing, sand-blasting, acid-etching, silk-screening, decals and colored art glass. Ceramic: reactive glazes that vary piece to piece, ombré spray glazes, two-tone dips over a raw clay base, matte, fluted and ribbed textures.
With candle filling partners in Vietnam and China, the vessel, wax, wick, fragrance, lid and gift box are developed together and tested together, so the candle that reaches the shelf is one engineered product rather than parts from different suppliers. We also make candle holders and lanterns in metal, glass and wire.

Glass candle vessels
Electrical safetyIt depends on the process: from 2,000 pieces for hand-blown glass, around 30,000 for semi-automated lines and around 50,000 for fully automated machine lines in Vietnam.
Typically 2,000 to 5,000 pieces per design in Vietnam, depending on the shape and the glaze or decoration.
Ceramic samples take around 21 days. Hand-tooled glass samples take around 35 to 45 days; we make glass samples and tooling in China to keep sampling fast, then move the tooling to Vietnam for production.
Yes. Glass candle containers are tested to ASTM F2179, the U.S. standard for glass containers used as candle holders, and painted or decorated surfaces are tested for lead content. Reports are shared under NDA and new testing is arranged for your item.
Yes. We work with candle filling partners in Vietnam and China, so the vessel, fragrance, wick, lid and packaging can be developed and delivered as one finished product.
Send the vessel size, the look you want and the target retail price. We will suggest the material, the origin and the process that fit.
