This will save you hours of patiently waiting for wax to drip. And, if an extra zero doesn’t send your wallet into hiding, turn your attention to the Vesuvius Candlestick (pictured above right) by Ted Muehling.

“This surreal candlestick appears to be dripping wax. However, upon closer examination it is made entirely of china (Earthenware.)”

20 x 12cm with a diameter of 8.5cm.

Quite clever.

‘Don’t need electricity for this light bulb. Every household should have one to add a touch of humor, as well as illumination, to blackouts and power outages. Plus, it’s a must gift for every “creative thinker” you know. Handmade from Bee’s Wax in New York State. Measures approximately 5″H x 2.5″ diameter.’

Look! It’s the repurposing of a the candleholder shape into a flashlight. This is pretty cool.

“This flashlight can be perfectly concealed on your bookcase or mantle top. It uses bright LED bulbs and is powered by 3 AA batteries (not included).”

Designed by David Weeks.

So freaking cool. I would be hesitant to actually use any of the matches since it seems as more of a sculptural type of thing, but that’s just me.

“To use just break a match off the block and scratch it along the block to light.”

I don’t know anyone who would spend $800 on a set of candles, but these certainly aren’t ordinary. I suppose if someone just absolutely loved them beyond belief the price wouldn’t matter so much.

I love these. There’s the magical feel, of course, but also they look so delicate as to be a rather special find. Click on the ‘buy it here’ link in order to see them in action.

I don’t know why these are on sale, but holy, that’s great that they’re under the $50 mark. Again, so simple in design, with interesting materials to give a subtle style. I think they’d finish off a room quite nicely, or maybe they’d be the perfect present for one of your modernist friends?

“Arik Levy’s Light Candle Holder (2007) is a study in restraint, a distinct departure from its Victorian counterparts. An innovative use of materials, the candle holder comes either in white alabaster or black-textured aluminum. When a candle is lit, the alabaster holder captures the light, giving it a translucent quality. Paired together, the Light Candle Holders provide a satisfying material contrast to each other. Nicely weighted, they can be safely transported with one hand using the simple, sizable handle and accommodate standard taper candles (not included).”

These candle holders make such an interesting arrangement. Three come in a set, and three sets were used in the photo.

Now is the time to pre-order these Zeisel brass candlesticks- only 150 sets are currently available, so you might want to put your name down soon…

Sure, it’s expensive, but I usually don’t like oil lamps and this one completely changed my mind. I kind of love it.

“Glass hurricane lamp houses an upturned light bulb, ironically converted into oil lamp, suspended by dipping wires. A functional sculpture created in homage to Thomas Alvin Edison’s 1879 unveiling of the world’s first long-lasting electric lamp, which lasted 13.5 hours.”

7″ x 13¾”.

This would add some elegant ambient light to a table.

“Clean lines, controlled curves and a clever composition bring an element of sophistication to any dinner setting with Maxim Velcovsky’s interlinked tealight holders.”
