Size: 5 1/8 T x 2 1/4 W
Description: This antique holy water bottle features a large cross hovering above a bowl and bordered by a fleur design. It has a great flared neck and wide mouth and makes for a beautiful burn. This bottle was used by the traveling priest for home visits to deliver blessings or perform exorcisms. circa - late 1800's
Burning Note: The thicker the candle, the longer burn sessions it requires. I recommend burning XL candles for no less than 3 hours at a time and upwards of 5, 6, + 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.
