This Waterford Champagne Coupe captures the light through deep vertical cuts and a radiant sunburst pattern at the base. A fine example of Irish craftsmanship from the 21st Century, the vessel features a sculpted, multi-tiered stem that lends a stately height to the table. The clarity of the crystal remains sharp and brilliant. We have hand-poured this piece with 100% soy wax, free from artificial coloring to maintain its luminous transparency.

This Mid-Century Modern vessel is a testament to the elegant craftsmanship of post-war England. The 22 Kt Thomas Webb Crystal Sorbet Dish features a shallow, rounded bowl adorned with a wide band of intricate floral etching. A graceful, scrolling monogram in raised gold serves as a central focal point. The delicate stem and foot are likewise trimmed in gold, catching the light through the clear, brilliant crystal. We have filled this vessel with 100% soy coconut wax, free from artificial coloring, to ensure a clean and steady burn. The wax pools beautifully within the reflective curves of the glass. Once the candle has spent its light, this storied piece may return to its original purpose or remain a decorative treasure on a mantle.

This Champagne Coupe captures the ornamental spirit of mid-century American metalwork. The vessel features a heavily embossed rim of trailing grapevines and floral medallions, while a central crest adds a sense of forgotten ceremony. A warm, tea-colored patina has settled into the depths of the silvered relief, contrasting beautifully with the polished luster of the stem and base. Inside, four ounces of hand-poured soy wax offer a clean and steady flame. We use only 100% soy wax with no artificial coloring to ensure the integrity of the vintage metal is preserved. This weighted piece brings a quiet, reflective weight to any surface it graces.

This mid-century Water Goblet offers a commanding presence through its ornate repoussé work and polished silver luster.

Acanthus leaves and draped ribbons provide a tactile, dimensional quality to the sturdy form.
