Have you tried Home Goods/TJ Maxx? I believe I've periodically seen them there.

Amazon, Cost Plus, anywhere they sell gourmet gift baskets, etc.

Macy's Cellar ?

I always see them at Home Goods.

Especially around the holidays there will be displays in places you don't normally see them. Even Target.

My neighbor has some. They've been displayed on her shelf for many years. I always wonder just how old those pickled items in those bottles are....

Thanks so much for your responses. I will check it out.

Oh..and please excuse the double post. It was late when I posted this.

Thanks!

No problem. Just wanted you to find the responses. :)

It think I've seen those types of bottles at Costco around the holiday season.

Earlier today (after reading your post) I looked online at Sur la Table, Williams and Sonoma and Harry and David but couldn't find anything.

In the process of that search I ended up looking at an interesting site about the history of bottles. In case anyone is interested or likes old bottles:

Here is a link that might be useful: Food Bottles & Canning Jars

Another way to search for them might be "culinary bottles" or "culinary art bottles."

These are listed on a world imports site so you'd probably have to order a boxcar full of them.

Here are a few more. These things have really come a long way since I noticed them in stores.

In your original post you said "Making them myself is not an option."

Now I see what you mean and I agree completely! I don't have the patience, the creativity or the hand to eye coordination for such a task. I think I'd rather loom hot pads.

Pier One is where I got them years ago. Don't know if they still sell them. I used them for making many dish soap bottles one Christmas.

Goodness, it might be nice if I read and then COMPREHENDED the OP - Oh My I hope my day isn't going to be a mess, I "thought" you wanted empty bottles to make your own. Sorry!
