Gothic Candles are hand made in the UK. The raw material is a blend of vegetable waxes made only from renewable resources. As the Candle burns unique crystalline structures will form. Colour capsules moulded within the candles are released to flow in a lava like pattern down the outside of the candle. The result is a gorgeous multi-coloured work of art. Each Manhattan Gothic Candle stands 9" tall and 2.5" wide, and has a burning time of 12 hours. The beautiful crystalline structures they form as the flame consumes the wax and the colours drip, has to be seen to be believed. Important Info: Must read: "These Gothic Candles are designed for the wax to flow - a great deal - lots and lots of hot wax. So here are special burn instructions."  The Manhattan Gothic Candle  should be placed on a holder, (plate, saucer, specially designed open candle holder or hurricane glass) at least 100mm (4.5") in diameter. Please note that Gothic Candles are basically hand made in small batches. We have to reserve the right to substitute a different colour way if your original choice(s) are unavailable. With Gothics though, every colour way is gorgeous. You won't be disappointed.
