what is the size of the rim/opening? and would I be able to use these as floating candle holders without them shattering?

It's about 2 inches. NO, you can not use it as a candle holder. The glass could explode.

The openings are slightly under 4" in diameter, so if you need 4", these won't work. Also, just to let you know, the concept behind these is good, but the quality is REALLY BAD (I ordered many replacements, but something was always broken. I ended up just keeping the one with the least amount of problems)!

Unsure but they were really tiny. I see something written below this answer. It looks about right. The width of the top openings are approx. 1.5" 2.0" 2.75"

The interior opening is 3 inches. The total diameter is 3 1/2 inches. I bought them for my storage jars with the metal clamp closures. These rings are a little big, but they will work.

No they are not flat on the bottom and probably will not be good for candle use. I use them for cookies or goodies to give to people. They are like waxed paper.

Diameter of rim is slightly under 3 1/2 in. Height is 6 in. Glasses are very sturdy and the circle texture is on the inside, so not particularly noticeable when filled with liquid, in case that matters to you.

Hmm, they are about 3 or 4 inches tall, and can hold a pretty good amount of liquid. The material is not super hard, but it is not flimsy either. You can drop them and they wont break easily.

Hi -- I actually think my previous post was wrong, and that these lids do come apart (2 pieces), fyi. We didn't use the lids much, tho they're pretty. As for size, we fit the tea light size candles inside these jars just fine (the kind with the silver foil-like bottom/sides.) The votives don't work as well, as the wax pools and puts out the candle. But yes, the tea lights fit in just fine and looked great. I still use them around the house (we bought these for a wedding. The tea lights can be purchased in packs of like 12 or 24 pretty cheap.) These are really cute, tho small, jars. Again, not sure I'd use them for food preserving, tho they might work just fine.

Although I don't have them with me at this moment, I think the diameter of the top of the post is maybe 1/4" or 5/16", not the 3/8" suggested by another reply. That diameter is pretty standard for casters with posts, based on my experience. If your wheels have a metal post I suspect these will fit. I have some very old (1930's or so) small wooden wheels on a chest of drawers: their posts are the same size as on these glides. You might hunt around on the internet to find other sites with these glides where the stem diameter is provided. You can then compare it with the diameter of the stems on your small wheels.

Not sure, but I think about 1/2" diameter and 3+ inches long. They looked like they were to be used as "shot" glasses. Too small for what we were going to use them for. We were making "frosting shots" for a kids birthday party and could not find a spoon small enough or slender enough to go the the bottom.

The diameters are 1.87 in. I bought them to fit in a lantern that has a narrow door. These are the only candles I found that are that slim.

These are about a little bigger than 1/4" in diameter. I guess it would be like a 2kt in real diamond size. These are perfect for table confetti with a center candle. They look amazing!

I'm not where I can access them right at the moment, but they are the standard "votive" candle size. Approx 2" high and 1" or less wide.

It is maybe a little over a inch in diameter I don't see a floating candle working in these

These bowls are small and would work for candles but empty glass votive holders would probably be less expensive. You are also paying for 12 small spoons that are included with this set of mini bowls. (You may know that it is not a set of 25 bowls - it is 12 bowls, 12 spoons and a recipe card.)

First of all the candle holder would have to be the right size. These candles are 2 inches across on the bottom. I didn't have a colored votive holder big enough to try it out for you. I'm guessing here ~ I think they will shine through - but I'm not sure how much light you're counting on. Again guessing - if it is a cobalt blue holder the dark color might well dim the shine.

The shelves are each 2 inches deep. Votive candles will fit if they are in small votive holders, but not if they are large decor holders. If they are in the small plastic cups that a certain name brand or two are sold in, they will absolutely fit. David A, who answered on November 28 is absolutely correct, though. hey must be in or on a non-conducting holder or they may melt the plastic shelf itself.
