Swan Lake

Era: 20th Century
Provenance: US
Material: glass
Wax fill: 53.41 oz

Swan Lake is a substantial 20th century vessel cast in clear and frosted glass. Its form features two elegant swans with bowed necks that serve as handles. The exterior is deeply textured with the overlapping patterns of wings, while the scalloped rim mimics the graceful movement of water. This vessel holds over fifty ounces of pure, hand-poured soy wax, providing a serene and enduring glow. The contrast between the polished ridges and the soft, satin finish of the swan forms adds a tactile dimension to its luminous presence.

Golden Hour

Era: MCM
Provenance: India
Material: brass
Wax fill: 42.41 oz

Sourced from India, this Mid-Century Modern tea cadd, possesses a commanding, architectural weight. The brass body is defined by a deep, aged patina and intricate floral banding along the rims. Twin lion head handles with drop rings flank the cylindrical form, while a hinged, domed lid topped with a decorative finial rests upon a matching integrated saucer. We have hand-poured this piece with 100% soy wax, free from artificial coloring to preserve its natural luster. When lit, the dual wicks reflect against the polished interior of the lid, casting a warm glow that emphasizes the textured wear of the metal. Golden Hour captures a quiet, historic elegance for the modern home.
