Description
This is Citrus Crush, a small scented candle in a lidded iron tin, sized for places a large jar would crowd. It measures 6.5cm across and 5.7cm tall, holds 85g of soy paraffin wax around a cotton wick, and the maker gives it a burn time of 20 hours. The blue tin is printed all the way round with a loose, painted floral pattern, so it earns its place on a shelf whether it is lit or not, and the whole candle weighs just 0.16KG.
At this size it suits a bedside table, a desk, a bathroom shelf or the corner of a dressing table, anywhere a candle has to sit in a small space. We like it for the rooms you use in shorter spells, a study or a guest room, where a small candle is all you need. It also makes an easy small gift, and because the lid goes back on, it can travel in a bag without the wax collecting fluff or dust on the way.
The tin is iron, a sturdy metal that will not crack or chip the way a glass jar can if it is knocked over. The lid fits over the top, so between evenings the candle goes back on the shelf looking finished rather than half used, and the wax stays free of dust. A rounded rim runs round the base, lifting the patterned body slightly so it sits neatly on a tray or a stack of books. For styling, set it on a small tray beside the bath with a folded towel and a sprig of greenery, or group it with other blue pieces on a bedside shelf, where the painted flowers pick up the lamplight.
