Description
This small scented candle, named Fresh Sea Salt, comes poured into an iron tin with a lid that lifts away when you want to light it. The tin is 6.5cm across and 5.7cm tall, and its outside is wrapped in a painted pattern of meadow grasses, seed heads and open flowers on a soft blue ground. It holds 85g of wax and the maker gives a burn time of 20 hours, which makes it a candle for a small space close to hand rather than a large room.
At 0.16KG it is light and easy to place, and it suits the places where a big candle would crowd things: a dressing table among brushes and jewellery, a bedside table beside a lamp and a book, a bathroom windowsill or the corner of a desk. The lid goes back on when the candle is not in use, so it packs neatly into a bag for a weekend away. It also makes an easy small gift for someone who loves a scented candle but has little room to spare, or a thank-you that needs no wrapping beyond its own pattern.
The candle itself is a soy paraffin wax with a cotton wick, poured straight into the iron tin, so there is no separate holder to find. The painted wrap runs right round the tin and carries on around the side of the lid, and a narrow rim finishes the base. Fitting the lid between uses keeps dust off the surface of the wax. For styling, set it on a small tray with a taller candle or a stack of books so its pattern sits at eye level, or keep it on its own by a mirror where the lid can rest beside it. The styling props shown are not included.
