Winter White Boxed Glass Scented Candle

Winter White is a scented candle poured into a frosted white glass that stands on a short see-through glass foot, and it comes in its own box with a soft leaf print across the top. The wax is soy paraffin, 285g of it, burning on a cotton wick, and the maker gives a burn time of 50 hours. The glass is 9cm across and 10.7cm tall, a comfortable middle size: large enough to hold its own on a mantelpiece, small enough for a bedside table or a bookshelf. Its listed weight is 0.45KG.

This is a candle for the rooms where you sit and stay a while: the living room mantelpiece, a side table in the evening, the bedroom or the spot beside a reading chair. A frosted glass suits a calm, pale scheme of white walls, linen and light wood, and it sits as happily among other candles and greenery as it does on its own. Because it comes boxed, it is ready to give with no wrapping beyond a ribbon, which makes it an easy present for a housewarming, a birthday or a host on a winter evening. The size suits a desk or a hallway console too, where a larger candle would crowd the surface.

The glass has a frosted finish over its body and a see-through foot that lifts the candle a little off the surface beneath it, so the base catches the light while the frosting softens the glow of the flame through the sides. The soy paraffin wax is poured around a single cotton wick inside the glass. Because the frosting covers everything but the foot, the candle looks as tidy unlit as it does burning. For styling, group it with a taller candle or a vase of winter stems on a mantelpiece, and keep the box for when you want to give it as a present.
