Know before you buy
This hurricane is designed to accommodate standard pillar candles or jar candles. Ensure the diameter of your candle is smaller than the interior width of the glass to allow for proper airflow.
No, this piece is intended for indoor use only. The delicate mouth-blown glass and crackled finish are best preserved in a controlled indoor environment.
Not at all. The crackled effect is a decorative texture applied to the exterior base of the glass, while the interior floor remains smooth and level to ensure your candle sits securely.
You can clean the smooth interior with a soft, lint-free cloth and glass cleaner. For the exterior crackled base, use a soft-bristled brush or a dry microfiber cloth to gently remove any dust from the textured crevices.
No, the Alba Hurricane arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Simply place it on your preferred tabletop surface and insert your candle.
