Solid Black Taper Candles

$8.82 ~~$14~~ In stock

Each hand dipped taper candle is dipped over 20 times by a dedicated craftsperson at Mole Hollow Candles, using a technique that has been in place since their founding in 1969. This technique, combined with their proprietary blend of waxes, is what creates the unique Spun Finish - a distinct linen-like visual texture - on each taper.

Each standard size taper candle is dripless and smokeless when burned under normal conditions. ⅞" diameter tapers should fit any standard sized candleholder. If you need a little extra security, try our sticky wax.

I love that each candle has that slightly uneven, handcrafted look from being dipped so many times. They burn slowly and steadily with almost no drips.

Lucy Y. ★★★★★ Oct 20, 2026

The hand-dipped layering is obvious the moment you hold one—the finish is smooth and dense, not waxy or cheap. I lit a pair for dinner and they burned evenly for hours without dripping a single drop.

These burn so evenly without dripping all over the place—I've already used them for two dinners and they held their shape perfectly. The hand-dipped quality is obvious in how smooth and consistent the wax is from top to bottom.
