Winter White Glass Scented Candle 590g

This is a scented candle made to be seen: a heavy glass vessel 11.5cm across and 12cm tall, filled with 590g of soy paraffin wax and set with three cotton wicks. A three-wick candle melts a broad pool of wax across its surface, which suits a vessel of this width. The glass has a champagne finish with a high shine that softens towards the base, and a heavy glass lid sits on top. The maker gives a burn time of 60 hours, and the whole piece weighs 0.96KG, so it feels as solid as it looks.

At 11.5cm across, this is a candle for the middle of a room rather than a shelf corner: a mantelpiece, the centre of a dining table, a sideboard in the hall or a low table in the living room. Lit, its three flames give a fuller glow than a single wick, which makes it a good choice for long winter evenings and for gatherings when guests are expected. The champagne glass sits comfortably among pale woods, linen and stone, and its name suits the colder months, though nothing about it ties it to one time of year. Lidded, it makes a considered gift for a housewarming, a birthday or a host at Christmas.

The vessel is glass throughout, with a polished rim at the top and a thick, heavy base. Between burns, replace the lid: a lid keeps dust off the surface of the wax while the candle stands unlit. When the wax is finished, the glass and its lid remain, and a vessel this size makes a good home for cotton wool, cotton buds or hair ties. To style it, group it with one or two pillar candles of different heights on a mantelpiece or tray, or let it stand alone on a bare side table where the champagne glass can catch the lamplight.
