This large scale candle is less about its shape than the way it burns, fast at first, revealing dramatic peaks and ridges, then very slowly as the wax spills out drawing convoluted motifs around it in an evocation of volcanic landscapes. Burning the candle becomes an experience between live painting, its tray being the canvas, and the contemplative hypnosis of a chimney fire. No two candles burn the same, and thus, no two candles tell the same story. Sold with a White Oak Tray. Each candle is handmade in Oakland, CA.
