Yes, the high-quality ceramic vessel is designed to be a functional piece of art. Once the wax is fully consumed, it can be cleaned and used as a decorative container, a pen holder, or a small vase.
This candle is crafted using a natural wax blend, chosen for its clean-burning properties and ability to effectively diffuse the Otto fragrance throughout your space.
The candle stands 14.5 cm (5.71 inches) tall with a diameter of 8.5 cm (3.35 inches). It weighs approximately 300 grams (10.58 ounces), making it a substantial decorative piece for a mantle, coffee table, or shelf.
Because each ceramic container is crafted through artisanal processes, there may be slight variations in the finish. This ensures that every candle is a unique piece of functional art rather than a mass-produced item.
