Size: 6 1/4 T x 2 1/4 W
Description: circa - 1880
This is an amazing piece - and one of our oldest bottles - dating back to 1880. The glass on this bottle is thick and heavy - much like the candle we built from it. The bold embossed text stands out perfectly on the front as well as the interwoven logo on the back, "A, W, S, Co.". The “blob top” neck and lip is classic to it’s time period. This will be a good, long burner, and watching the text glow once the bottle hollows out will animate this piece to a whole new level.
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.
