I know of two suppliers here in the UK. They are :
 
E.H. Thorne (Beehives) Ltd              Steele & Brodie (1983) Ltd.
Beehive Works                           Chilbolton Down Farm
Wragby                                  Stockbridge
Lincoln                                 Hampshire
LN3 5LA                                 SO20 6BU
 
Tel. +44 (0)1673 858555                 +44 (0)1264 810916
Fax. +44 (0)1673 857004                 +44 (0)1264 810916
 
Thorne offer a 6oz size. Their prices vary slightly according to the quantity
and they charge by weight for packing and postage.
For 50 - 6.79 (excl VAT), 7.98 (incl VAT)
For 500 - 63.00 (excl VAT), 74.02 (incl VAT)
For 1000 - 116.90 (excl VAT), 137.36 (incl VAT)
 
Steele & Brodie offer an 8oz size at 20.10 per 1/2 gross (their catalogue code
is M64700) and they also charge extra for postage and packing according to the
weight.
 
I'm sorry that I know of no supplier who sells hexagonal glass jars as large as
those you are looking for.
