Description
This is a Fresh Sea Salt scented candle poured into a lidded iron tin, a squat, round vessel 9.7cm across and 8.5cm tall. The wax is a soy and paraffin blend, 335g of it, burning on a single cotton wick, and the maker gives a burn time of 50 hours. The tin is printed all the way round with painted grasses and seed heads on a soft blue ground. Its fitted lid carries a band of loose, painted flower heads, so the candle looks finished whether it is lit or closed.
We think of a vanity tin as a candle for the smaller surfaces of a home: a dressing table, a bathroom shelf, a bedside table or the corner of a desk. At this size it suits a room where a larger candle would crowd the space, and a fresh, coastal scent name sits well in the places where you start and end the day. It also makes an easy gift, because the printed tin and lid look ready to hand over without wrapping, and at 0.48KG it tucks into a hamper or a bag without fuss.
The tin is iron, with a rolled rim around its base, and the painted pattern carries fine metallic lines that catch the light once the wick is burning. The fitted lid keeps dust off the wax between evenings. Once the candle is finished, the empty tin makes a small lidded pot for dry odds and ends such as hair ties, matches or paper clips. For styling, we like it on a small tray on a dressing table or bathroom shelf, with the lid set down beside it so the band of flower heads stays on show next to the grasses on the tin.
