Ribbed Round Glass Jar Scented Candle 450g - Pink

This scented candle sits in a round glass jar with fine vertical ribs running from base to rim, tinted a soft blush pink that glows once the wick is lit. The ribbing catches the flame and throws gentle stripes of light through the glass, so it looks just as pretty burning as it does unlit on a shelf. It is a generous 450g candle, standing 13.9cm tall and 9.8cm across, a size that holds its own on a coffee table without crowding it. Pink is the main colour, and the pale wax inside gives the whole piece a light, layered look.

We think it sits nicely in a living room, on a bedside table or along a mantelpiece, and it makes a charming centrepiece on a dining table when you have people round for dinner. As a Christmas gift it is easy to give and lovely to receive: the ribbed pink glass looks considered on its own, so it needs little more than a ribbon tied around the jar. Its blush colour sits comfortably alongside gold, cream and soft green decorations through the festive weeks, and once the tree comes down it carries on just as happily on a dressing table or a hallway console.

The jar is glass with ribbed sides and a flat round base that stands steadily on any level surface. Set it away from draughts, curtains and anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Keeping the wick trimmed short between burns gives a neater, steadier flame. Once the glass is completely cool, wipe the outside with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft cloth to keep the ribs clear and bright. For a gift, wrap it in pink tissue with a small card; at home, set it on a tray with a few sprigs of fir for an easy, glowing arrangement.
