Slate Gray Taper Candles

$8.54 ~~$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.

The rich slate gray color is exactly as pictured, and you can tell these are hand-dipped because the wax has a subtle, uneven texture that feels quality. They burned evenly for hours without dripping much at all.

The hand dipping really shows in the finish—each candle has that subtle, organic texture you just don't get from mass-produced ones. They burn slowly and evenly, and the slate gray is a perfect muted tone for my dining table.

Twenty dips might sound like overkill, but the color depth on these slate gray tapers is honestly stunning. They burn evenly and have that subtle artisan look you just can’t get from a machine.
