Know before you buy
The hurricane has a diameter of 6 1/4 inches, so a pillar candle with a diameter of 3 to 4 inches will provide the best aesthetic balance while leaving enough room for airflow.
While it is designed for both indoor and outdoor use, it is made of glass and should be brought inside during extreme weather or high winds to prevent breakage or tipping.
To maintain the clarity and integrity of the handmade glass, we recommend hand washing this piece with warm water and a mild detergent.
The cylindrical shape and high-quality glass make it an excellent candidate for professional glass etching or engraving. You will need to take the piece to a local professional engraver, as the service is not provided at the time of purchase.
No, the Nantucket Hurricane is crafted from clear glass to ensure maximum clarity and light reflection, allowing the flame of your candle to be the focal point.
Yes, because each piece is individually blown by Simon Pearce artisans, you may notice slight variations in the glass, such as tiny bubbles or subtle differences in thickness. These are hallmarks of the traditional glassblowing process and confirm the authenticity of your piece.
