Artisan Beeswax Candle - Heirloom Mason Jar

Made in partnership with Pollen Arts (@pollenarts)

Molded after Old Judge Coffee Jar - Circa - 1930's
Size - XXL - 7 1/2" T x 3 3/4" W

Featuring a wraparound harlequin on the face and sides as well as a wise old owl crested in the center, this mason has character and charm. The words "old judge" umbrella the owl on his branch, and the word "coffee" cradles below. As our largest candle, this tall pillar can be burned for hours on end - dripless, self containing love and light ; )

300 + hours burn time

Burn Tips:

Always make sure to burn on a *level* heat resistant surface.

Never burn your candle in the breeze of a fan or a draft - it will blow all the flame's heat to one side of the candle and cause an uneven burn and possibly a wax spill ; (

It's best to keep your wick trimmed to 1/4 inch. Wicks can get crusty and gunked up with cooked honey and carbon. Trimming the wick will help keep a bright and beautiful burn. Also, a longer wick = a bigger flame. The bigger your flame, the quicker it sucks up your wax pool. Trim that wick for a longer burn ; )

The thicker your candle is - the longer spans of time you can leave it burning for. The rule of thumb is 1 hour per inch wide. So our masons go for about 3 hours at a time. (but we've had them burning 5 and 6 hours at a go) Beeswax burns long and bright, just keep an eye on the outer wax walls, if they look like they're going to cave in and spill the wax, blow your candle out, and let is cool for next time ; )

Beeswax candle wicks are designed to curl over when they're getting too long. This is a perfect sign that it's time to trim the wick (just below the bend where the wick is still straight). Also, if your short wick is leaning to one side, you can easily poke at it with the tip of your scissors to straighten it out and get a more symmetrical wax pool
