Mixed Berry Dessert Parfait Candle

Built in a tumbler the way a parfait is built: a biscuit-crumb base, then whipped wax piped in soft peaks, then fruit — wax blueberries, strawberries, orange segments, mango cubes — layered through and heaped on top.

Every element is moulded and coloured separately. They are convincing enough that guests reach for a spoon, which is rather the point. A wick runs through the centre.

Details

• Materials: Soy and paraffin wax blend, cotton wick, glass tumbler, pigmented wax fruit
• Dimensions: Glass approx. 9 cm tall x 8 cm diameter
• Care: Not edible. Trim wick to 5 mm and remove decorative fruit from the pool before lighting.

Handmade in small batches by Chitra in Dehradun. Because every piece is made by hand, small variations in colour and finish are part of the work.

Dispatched from the studio within 3 to 5 working days. Most pieces are made or finished to order, so please allow a little longer during festival weeks.

Fragile items - resin trays, relief plates and glass candles - are wrapped in tissue, bubble wrap and a rigid outer carton.

If a piece arrives damaged, send a photograph within 48 hours of delivery and it will be replaced or refunded in full.

Because most work is one of a kind or made to order, we cannot accept returns for change of mind. Do ask any question before ordering - happy to send more photographs.

Everything here is worked by hand in small batches. Colour, grain, bloom placement and the way resin or ink settles will differ a little from the photographs.

These differences are the record of the piece being made rather than moulded, and are not treated as faults.
