Shell White Taper Candles

$9.94 ~~$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 lit one of these for a quiet dinner and was surprised how cleanly it burned—almost no dripping at all. The color is a true, opaque shell white that looks elegant against a dark table.

The hand-dipped finish is so smooth and even, they burn beautifully without dripping. I lit a pair for dinner and the clean, steady flame lasted well past dessert. Exactly the classic, understated look I was hoping for.

After 20 dips you can really see the difference in the wax quality—these burn clean and hold their shape perfectly. The white is a crisp, creamy shade that looks elegant in my brass holders, not cheap at all.
