Description
This scented candle carries a soft, watercolour-style print of two donkeys standing close together, set on a purple-tinted vessel with a round lid that sits neatly on top. Its fragrance is Wild Flower Meadow, and it holds 250g of candle in a round container that stands 11.8cm tall, 7.6cm wide and 8.2cm deep. The donkeys are painted in greys, whites and warm browns, their shaggy coats and long ears picked out with loose, gentle brushwork, while the purple tint deepens towards a darker base.
At 11.8cm tall it is a compact candle that sits happily on a bedside table, a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a kitchen dresser, and the country feel of the donkey print suits a cottage sitting room as well as a bright modern shelf. With a burn time of 50 hours, it keeps going through plenty of quiet evenings, a long bath or a slow Sunday afternoon with a book. We like that it comes with its own lid, so it still looks finished when it is not lit and earns its place on a shelf all year round, not only when the wick is burning.
The wax is a blend of 70% soy wax and 30% paraffin wax. For a tidy burn, trim the wick before each lighting, let the first burn run until the top has melted right across, and stand the candle on a stable, level surface away from draughts. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Once it has cooled, pop the lid back on to keep dust off the wax, and wipe the outside with a soft dry cloth. With its painted pair of donkeys facing out and the lid in place, it makes a ready-to-give present that needs nothing more than a ribbon.
