Know before you buy
Millefiori is a traditional Italian glasswork technique that creates intricate, multi-colored patterns. In this context, it refers to the detailed, decorative carving style applied to the wax surface.
After burning the candle for about an hour, pour out the liquid wax to create a hollow center. Once the wax has cooled and hardened, you can place a standard tea light inside the top to continue using the carved pillar as a decorative candle holder.
Yes, the candle features a durable, lacquered finish that allows you to wipe it clean with a damp cloth. This protects the intricate carvings and ensures the piece remains looking fresh even after extended use.
This candle stands 5.5 inches tall with a diameter of 3 inches, making it a versatile size for coffee tables, mantels, or bedside displays.
Because of the lacquered finish, the candle is quite low-maintenance. Simply keep it away from direct, high-heat sunlight to prevent the wax from softening, and wipe it down with a soft cloth if it collects dust.
