Espresso cup candle "Octopus' Garden" No. 2

Like a dive into the depths of the sea, where the octopus relaxes in its shady garden, surrounded by turquoise water, and every now and then a little sunlight shimmers down.
This espresso cup candle is glazed in our "Octopus' Garden" design, on sand-colored speckled clay and was elaborately built by hand using the slab technique.
 
Our small cup candles have been carefully hand-filled with rapeseed wax and have a wooden wick that crackles quietly as it burns, creating a cozy fireplace atmosphere.
The candles are wonderful for cozy winter evenings or mild summer nights on the balcony and in the garden.
Once the candle has burned out, the small cup can be used, e.g. for drinks, storage or as a small flower pot.
 
Rapeseed wax is healthy, environmentally friendly and because it is grown in Europe, it has a shorter transport route for us than, for example, soy wax, which is mostly imported from the USA. Since it is important to us to pay attention to our ecological footprint with our products, rapeseed wax was the right choice for us. It also has a beautiful, pure color and a neutral smell.
 
Our ceramics are dishwasher safe. However, we generally recommend hand washing for handmade pieces.

Please note that the product may vary slightly from the photos shown here. Reasons for this may be screen settings and different lighting conditions. I take photos in daylight. Each of my pieces is unique, each piece is hand-built, which means it has irregularities that are absolutely intentional and part of my aesthetic.
