Handcrafted Metal Taper Candle Holder

Three cream tapers in pure beeswax, handmade in Catskill, New York from local wax. 10 in each, about ten hours of burn apiece. The faint honey smell is the wax itself, not a fragrance.

Matte black ceramic, stripped down to the shape — a modern read on the early American chamberstick, the handled holder you carried to bed. 4 in across, holds a standard taper. Spot clean; it doesn't like moisture.

Matte white ceramic — a shallow bowl with the taper cup raised in the middle, so wax runs down into the dish instead of pooling at the base. 4.25 in across, 3 in tall. Holds a standard taper.

Milky white glaze over ceramic, poured unevenly the way handwork goes — so it catches light differently around the rim. 4 in across, holds a standard taper.
