Smoked Barro Beewax Candle
Beautiful slow made pottery candles that feature unique markings from the pit fire process, an inner natural glaze, and a smoky hue that’s created by placing the hot pieces in a bath of organic plants. Created from local clay with traditional artistry, these vessels are filled with hand-poured white beeswax, along with a cotton wick, which makes for a long-lasting, clean-burning candle that has virtually no scent. The burn time is approximately 30 hours, and once the wax is gone, these pottery cups can be cleaned out and used as a plant pot or anything else. Candles are created by a family of master potters in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Dimensions: Approximately 6cm wide x 9cm tall
Care: During the first burn, leave the flame going long enough that the top surface of the candle is completely covered in liquid wax from edge to edge – at least ½ cm deep. This will help to prevent tunneling, and also set the memory of the candle to burn evenly in future. Keep wick trimmed to just over ½ cm and trim the wick every 4 - 5 hours of burn time. This will encourage a longer burn time, and also deter black smoke and soot.
Note The price is for a single candle. Given the nature of handmade, sizes, markings, designs and hues will vary from the featured product image.
