    Can try the plant nurseries at Thomson, like Far East Flora.

    They have a whole range of glass jars and containers for plants... like those wabi-kusa style shallow round glass bowls and egg shaped glass containers.

    Yup, they have a huge selection of various glass jar designs, all designed for plants.

    Alot that look like the ADA style glass jars for wabi-kusa setups... just google "ADA wabi-kusa" to see examples of the various glass jar shapes.

    They also have jar designs with glass lids too, for "table gardens".

    I haven't been to the Jurong outlet... but for the Thomson outlet, the glassware for plants are mostly found at the right side of the main store, next to the cold room (where all the fresh cut flowers are displayed).

    There are many other plant nurseries along that stretch of road, can spend a whole day just shopping for plants and gardening stuff in that area.

    Btw, if any of you are heading there, do check out The Nature Company, its at 15 Joan Road (just behind Far East Flora Thomson), they have a section specializing in paludariums and terrariums. They have a huge showcase paludarium in the store, and there are even ready-made paludariums for sale there too.

    I went far east at thomson there's a far east (flower) shop in the center with quite a bit of glassware. Not so many jars though. .
