Size:. 8 ¾ T x 2 ½ Square
Description: This is an old bottle from the Potter Drug and Chemical Corporation of Boston USA. It was dug up from a residential dump in Rochester, New York.
This is such a great piece, with columns and arches on all sides. The neck alone on this bottle will burn for four plus hours, a perfect tapper through the neck transforming to a wide pillar through the body. Due to its size and shape, you can expect a long and interesting burn from this one. The columns tend to stand above the melt line, and create a ver cool effect as the shape deconstructs.
Burning Note: The thicker the candle, the longer burn sessions it requires. I recommend burning XL candles for no less than 2-3 hours at a time and upwards of 4, 5, + hours. The reason for this is that the heat of the flame needs time to melt away the walls and feed the wax pool, so give it time to get the greatest value.
You can also “kneed” or press the warm lip of the candle inwards to get the walls to melt in faster and more efficiently.
Trimming the tip of the wick before each new burn is also beneficial. You can use scissors or nip the brittle end of the cold candle wick with your thumb nail. This eliminates any accumulation of carbon, burnt honey, pollen or propolis from the fabric and allows for a healthy flame and good flow of wax.
