Know before you buy
Because each piece is handblown in Portland, every candleholder features unique, organic variations. While they share the same general dimensions, you should expect slight differences in shape and glass distribution.
This holder is designed to accommodate standard-sized taper candles. Due to the handmade nature of the glass, we recommend checking the fit of your specific candle, as some thicker tapers may require a slight trim at the base.
Yes, the integrated disc base is specifically designed to catch wax drips, helping to protect your tabletops and mantels from residue.
While these are dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the glass finish. If wax accumulates, gently scraping it off with a plastic tool or running the glass under warm water will easily remove the residue.
Absolutely. The collection is designed to be modular, allowing you to mix and match different tones for a vibrant, eclectic look or stick to a single color for a more uniform aesthetic.
