Featuring stunning hand-thrown pottery by Whiskey & Clay. Each candle is truly unique piece of functional art, designed to be enjoyed as your favorite stoneware long after the candle's life.

After burning, simply wash either by hand or in the dishwasher. Even the wick glue uses washable, edible organic ingredients so that the ceramic may be confidently reused.

First microbatch available in Vanilla Bean.

ABOUT WHISKEY & CLAY
Ceramics made in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Inspired by the southwest sky and earth, they blend porcelain with stoneware to give each piece a timeless desert feel. Pieces are high fired in a heavy-reduction gas kiln, the outcome creates dark rust tones and brightly developed glazes that give each its own identity. All pieces are food safe and meant to be enjoyed through use.

Scent Strength

Essential oil and natural fragrances will almost always be lighter than typical synthetic fragrances (a feature, not a bug) and will not fill a room as quickly. You can expect our scents to be very pleasant and more subtle, as they are designed to not be overwhelming.

Smaller candles are lighter and better suited for smaller rooms like bathrooms, small offices or bedrooms. Candle aromas may not be as easily appreciated in large vaulted or open spaces, but they will always be lovely ambiance.

Candle Care

CANDLE CARE
A few habits will help your candle burn cleanly and evenly to the end.

  • Our wicks are self-trimming but burn best with a quick trim to 1/4" (6mm) before each lighting.
  • Burn for at least 2 hours at a time but no more than 4 hours to prevent overheating.
  • To encourage an even burn, rotate the candle periodically.
  • If a dark “mushroom” forms on the wick: extinguish, let it cool, and trim before relighting.
  • Keep the wax pool free of debris and fully extinguish your candle with a snuffer.
  • Always burn within sight, on a stable, heat-resistant surface, and away from drafts or flammable objects.
  • Keep away from children and pets, and don't move your candle while it's lit or still hot.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Stop burning when 1/4" (6mm) of wax remains.

Some "tunneling" may occur at the beginning of each candle's life. Our candles are designed to "catch up" as they burn both for safety (so that the candle does not overheat) and to increase aromatic longevity.
