Description
Hidden Lake is a scented candle poured into a blue glass vessel, lit by three cotton wicks and finished with a lid of its own. It holds 590g of soy paraffin wax, and the maker gives a burn time of 60 hours. At 11.5cm across and 12cm tall it is a generous size, far from a small votive, and the whole candle weighs 0.96KG, so it feels solid in the hand and sits firmly wherever you place it. A wide candle is better served by several wicks than one: spread across the surface, they help the wax melt evenly, where a single wick tends to burn a narrow well down the middle.
Three flames burning at once give a warm, generous light, so this is a candle for the rooms where people gather: the middle of a coffee table, a sideboard in the dining room, a mantelpiece through the winter months. It works just as well on a bedroom chest of drawers for a quiet evening, or in a bathroom when you run a long soak. Its size and lidded glass vessel make it a thoughtful housewarming or birthday present, one that looks finished on a shelf even when unlit.
The vessel is glass, its blue deepening from the rim down to a thick glass base, and the lid is a matching blue glass disc with a printed label at its centre. Set back on the rim between burns, the lid keeps dust off the wax and the candle looking tidy. For a simple arrangement, set the candle on a side table beside a few cut eucalyptus stems or a trailing plant, where the blue glass sits well against green leaves, and keep the lid close at hand for the end of the evening. The styling props shown are not included.
