Speckled Teardrop Cut-Out Stoneware Wax Melt Burner - Grey

This wax melt burner is made from grey stoneware with a speckled finish, and its rounded body is opened at the front by a tall teardrop cut-out. A dish at the top holds your wax melt, and the cut-out frames a tealight set in the base, so you can watch the flame glow gently beneath. It stands 12cm tall, 11cm across and 11cm deep. That compact size settles on a side table, shelf or windowsill without crowding it. The grey surface is flecked all over with tiny lighter specks, which give the simple shape a soft, stony texture.

Its quiet neutral grey sits comfortably with most schemes, from white walls and pale wood to deeper painted rooms. We like it on a living room coffee table, a bedroom chest of drawers or a hallway console, where a warm scent can drift through the room as the wax softens. Once the tealight is lit, the glow through the cut-out adds a gentle point of light on darker evenings, so it works as a small candle feature as well as a way to scent the room. It also makes a thoughtful gift, simple enough to suit almost any home, whether the person you have in mind loves fresh, floral or cosy fragrances.

Made from stoneware, the burner stands on its own flat base, so it needs no stand or tray beneath it. Set it on a stable, level surface away from anything that could catch light, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Let the wax and the burner cool fully before moving it or changing the melt. To keep it looking its best, lift out cooled wax from the dish, wipe it with a damp cloth and dust the outside with a soft dry cloth. For a gift, we would wrap it with a box of tealights and a few melts in a favourite scent.
