Oeuf! Our new Boiled Egg Candles are beyond belief. When lit, these ridiculously realistic recreations melt away to show the creamy ‘egg white’, before revealing the golden yolk at its heart.
Each life-sized Hen's egg is hand-poured in East Sussex, crafted from unscented natural wax, has a 1.5-hour burn time and weighs 65g. Sold individually.
Throughout history and folklore, the humble egg holds great significance. Representative of life, fertility and creation, for centuries eggs have been associated with renewal, purity, and hope, their simple form embodying both fragility and infinite potential. From Spring rituals to Easter traditions, the egg has remained a timeless emblem of rebirth and good fortune.
A celebration of natural sculptural beauty, and the layers of meaning this simple object carried through history, each egg candle is a quiet reminder of life’s cycles, and a visual delight at any table.
Just like Scribble & Daub’s paper goods, these artisan candles are hand-crafted from natural olive wax, hand-poured with love and care in small batches in East Sussex, England. Made to the highest environmental standards using eco dyes and an organic cotton wick, all are Vegan friendly.
Candles are fragile by nature, and they will be packed and sent to you with the utmost attention. Please remember that natural wax is a soft and delicate material, so some imperfections may be present on the surface. Natural waxes will 'bloom', this is a normal reaction to the environment which means the candle may appear 'dusty'. This is very easy to remove with a warm hand or quick blast with a hairdryer.
Important notes on candle safety:
- NEVER leave a burning candle unattended.
- Always put candles on a heat resistant surface
- Keep burning candles away from things that can catch fire (e.g. curtains, other fabrics, furniture, hair). Keep candles out of draughts. Do not put underneath shelves (there should be at least one meter between a candle and any surface above it).
- Candles should be kept out of reach of children and pets - consider where you place them in your home carefully.
- Make sure to leave at least 10cm between two burning candles - candles like to 'jump' between each other.
- Trim your wick when needed to maintain a height of 0.5cm.
- Keep the wax pool clear of matches and debris to prevent reignition.
- Extinguish candles before moving them. Make sure candles are completely extinguished.
- CANDLES ARE NOT FOOD, NOT TOYS AND SHOULD NEVER BE EATEN.
