Know before you buy
Yes. The ceramic vessel is food, microwave, and dishwasher safe, making it perfectly functional as a mug, small vase, or snack bowl once the wax is cleaned out.
The easiest method is to place the vessel in the freezer for a few hours, which causes the remaining wax to shrink and pop out. You can then wash the vessel in the dishwasher to remove any final residue.
It is a sophisticated, spicy, and woody fragrance. It opens with bright citrus and ginger notes, transitions into a warm, aromatic heart of clove and cinnamon, and settles into a deep, earthy base of teak and sandalwood.
Because each vessel is hand-painted, there will be slight variations in the pattern. This ensures that every piece has a unique, artisanal character.
The vessel measures 4 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 4.25 inches high, with a total wax capacity of 11 ounces.
