These candle bowls are hand forged out of mild steel by Ruben Irons, Artist Blacksmith and finished with raw beeswax. Unique marks of character speak to both the ancient craft of blacksmithing and the nuances of this particular piece of metal. For this reason, each bowl is slightly different, embracing wabi-sabi, the Japanese aesthetic that celebrates imperfection.
Each bowl sits just under 2" tall with a roughly 5.75" diameter. The flattened bottom is about 2.5" in diameter, allowing for a stable base and a level spot for a 2.5" diameter pillar candle inside (as depicted in photos).
Let these bowl speak for themselves as sculptural pieces on their own or nest a candle inside. These pieces are solid and will stand strong for generation after generation.
Bowls can be PERSONALIZED on the flattened underside. We use 3/16" tall numbers and letters. "/", "-", "&", "+", "." and a heart shape are also options. Have your bowl personalized with initials, a date,"6 YRS" or any combination of text. You can choose to personalize just one of the candle holders, two or all three. Select the option that matches the TOTAL character count of your desired text for all candle holders combined: up to 10 characters, 11-20 characters, etc.
