Libra series
This series is based on the traditional apothecary jar, defined by its proportions and use in storing dry ingredients. Libra is named after the scales, it draws on a sense of balance and proportion while supporting both storage and presentation.
The Libra is the only jar in the Miron range that has a ground glass stopper. This means it uses a glass-on-glass closure, so there are no metal or plastic parts. This mono-material construction supports recyclability and a clean material profile.
The Libra series comes in sizes of 50 ml, 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1000 ml, and 2000 ml. It is perfect for many dry applications, like botanicals, herbs, spices, powders, and bath salts. The shape supports stable storage and repeated use across different environments.
Miron® glass blocks specific light wavelengths. It protects sensitive contents. This helps keep them stable over time.

Yes. Samples are available so you can evaluate the Libra jar in your application. This allows you to assess handling, closure fit, and overall suitability. The ground glass stopper is included with each sample. Samples can be requested via the product pages.
The Libra jar is suited to powders, dry formulations, herbs, spices, seeds, bath salts, room fragrance, and medicinal products. The wide opening supports easy filling and access, while the range of sizes makes it suitable for both retail and professional storage. The apothecary shape also supports clear presentation.
The Libra jar is supplied with a precision ground glass stopper. The stopper is matched to the neck of each jar, creating a glass-on-glass closure without metal or plastic components. This supports a consistent seal and a mono-material construction. No additional closure is required.
Both Libra and Lyra share a similar apothecary shape but differ in closure. The Libra uses a ground glass stopper, creating a closer-fitting glass-on-glass seal. The Lyra uses a non-ground stopper, offering a similar appearance with a more accessible closure system. Both are made from glass. The choice depends on the product, application, and required level of sealing.
The Libra jar is primarily designed for dry applications. The ground glass stopper provides a close fit, but bottles are generally more suitable for liquid formulations. Rinsing before use is recommended when filling with liquids.
The Libra jar is available in 50 ml, 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1000 ml, and 2000 ml formats. Smaller sizes are suited to retail products and single-ingredient use. The 500 ml and 1000 ml formats support bulk herbs, spices, and professional applications. The 2000 ml format is the largest in the Miron range and is suited to high-volume storage and display.
