Description
This is a scented candle poured into an iron vanity tin, made with soy paraffin wax and a cotton wick, and its scent goes by the name Hinoki Sage. The tin is a low, round drum 9.7cm across and 8.5cm tall, a little wider than it is high, so it sits compactly on a surface rather than standing tall. It holds 335g of wax, and the maker gives a burn time of 50 hours, which makes it a candle to light often rather than one to save for a special evening. The whole piece weighs 0.48KG.
Its size makes it an easy fit for a bedside table, a dressing table, a desk or a narrow bookshelf, the kind of spot where a larger candle would crowd things. The tin is green and carries a painterly pattern of needled branches and slender twigs all the way round, so it looks finished from every side and suits an open shelf that is seen from more than one angle. That woodland look sits comfortably in a living room, a bedroom or a hallway, and because it comes in its own lidded tin it makes a tidy present for a friend who likes green in the home.
The wax is soy paraffin and the wick is cotton, set in the centre of the tin, and the wax itself is green, so the colour carries on once the lid comes off. The iron tin has a rolled metal rim around its base, and its lid slips over the top with a printed band wrapped around it. For styling, set it on a small tray with a plant and a stack of books, or keep the lid beside it on a dressing table so the pattern on both pieces shows together.
