Orb Tapers
/ Kombu Orb Taper Set
Part votive, part taper, our based orb candles are the perfect accent for any candlestick or candelabra of your choosing. The bases fit most standard candlesticks, with a bit of wiggle room for those in-between sizes.
Though the virgin forms may appear platonic and reserved, they get progressively more baroque with burning, and their form glows brilliantly in the darkness.
All candles are individually hand-poured; no two are exactly the same. Some variations in color and texture are to be expected, and enjoyed.
Sold as a set of two, or six.

care
A cloudy, whitish coating, known as a “bloom,” may appear on the surface of the candle ��this “bloom” is an indicator of high purity beeswax, and is the normal crystallization of natural oils in the wax as they rise to the surface. To revive the luster of your candles and tray, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth.
Some pigments naturally fade with UV exposure –keep out of sunlight to preserve color, or burn to reveal the unfaded color within.
safety
**Never leave a burning candle unattended. Fire is dangerous, and should be kept out of reach of children, pets, and flammable materials. Keep away from drafts or vibrations. Failure to follow instructions could result in fire hazard, injury, or death.**
While our wicks are typically “self-trimming”, they should be minded and kept at 1/4” in length.
Candle wax will be hot when candle is lit. Allow candle to cool before moving or relighting.
**Burn on a heat-resistant surface.** Candles will spill and drip, and burning the candle past the orb risks the unmelted shell dropping off. Be prepared for any surface you place a candle on to be covered in wax —we suggest using a plate or a coaster. Wax should be allowed to cool before attempting to remove. Additionally, beeswax melts in a microwave for easy cleanup.
