Any interest in custom glass juice bottles?

submitted about 11 years ago by kitkanz

Hey everyone I'm new to the DIY juice scene but had an idea the other day that I can combine this with my other hobby of glasswork. I'd be able to make pretty much any volume (+/- ~2%) that you can ask and everything would be thick glass, want some color or a design on a bottle as a label or to look good next to all your mods ? I can do that no prob!

Just wondering if there's any interest for these, not trying to sell any at the moment since I'm still working out the lid. Perhaps I could use a stopper that also has a dropper?

Would be very interested in the idea some limit run collector editions bottles for our line. Depending on price most likely for a special release in 120mlish bottles

I really like that collectors bottle idea! I can already do basic vessels and with some simple math I can get the size pretty dang close

Will try some this weekend, stay tuned for some prototype pics next week

I'm not entirely set on making these yet, so I don't wanna get tied to a transaction quite yet. Just trying to see if there was any interest. I'll post some pics of my prototypes next week after I make some, if you dig those we can talk business

Hey, I noticed you're in Texas. Whereabouts? I too am in Texas and could be interested in a few glass pieces (not bottles) for some mods I'm designing.

Hey man I didn't say you could live in or around me. If you don't want me to press charges you better send me a custom glass bottle or else!

A few small, round, slightly domed windows. They'd be maybe just a touch over 1.5" diameter.

I noticed you make pendants. Do you have a site?

I've got an etsy hop under the name kitkanzglass, it doesn't have much new stock at the moment. Best place to find up to date pendants is on my Instagram @kitkanzglass

Etched glass labeling would be cool.

Haven't messed with any of that yet, I may be able to sandblast custom designs if I make this into something

I would love half a dozen 60 ml bottles if the price isn't crazy. Can you do the lab style ground glass stoppers?

Haven't really worked out a price yet, gonna figure all that out this weekend if I can get some bottles I'm happy with.

I could do the ground joints but it would bump the price up at least $5 per bottle, those things are kinda expensive unless you do them yourself and then you need a few tools I'm lacking currently. Those joints would make the bottles look super high end but I'm trying to figure out a user friendly cap that won't spill if tipped over

I understand. What I was imagining was something similar to crystal liquor decanters, but maybe with a little flair.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

I like the idea a lot and would definitely be interested in a reusable glass bottle.
