Refillable Candle Vessels — Harmonie Scent Collection

A hand-thrown clay vessel poured with a candle from the Harmonie scent collection — Wild Ginger, Pillow Talk, Mystique, Secrets, Señor, Patrón or Boody Call. When the wax is gone the vessel stays. Wash it out and it becomes a bowl, or have it refilled.

Two other vessels sit alongside this one. If you want the Sedona Sky scents instead — Lavender, Honeysuckle, Santal Desire, Balsam Fir and the rest — those are on the Sedona Sky refillable vessels. If you want the vessel on its own with no candle in it, buy the empty 14 oz vessel.

Scents in this collection

Seven Harmonie fragrances, each poured in coconut wax on a lead-free cotton wick: Wild Ginger, Pillow Talk, Mystique, Secrets, Señor, Patrón and Boody Call. Pick the scent and the glaze color separately.

Seven glaze colors

White, Dark Red, Bright Red, Dark Blue, Bright Blue, Green and Yellow. Each one is hand-glazed, so no two come out identical — the pooling and the depth of color shift from batch to batch. That variation is the point of buying a hand-made vessel rather than a molded one.

The vessel is the part you keep

Made in Arizona by our artisan partner K2C Designs. The clay body is food-safe, dishwasher-safe and microwave-safe, which is what makes the second life possible: once the candle is finished, the vessel works as a cereal bowl, a soup bowl, a salsa dish, a soap dish or a small planter.

Refills

We refill vessels rather than replace them — you keep the pottery and we pour a new candle into it, in whichever scent you want next. Write to us when your vessel is empty and we will send you a prepaid return box. Your refilled vessel comes back in about two weeks, and a refill costs about 40% less than buying a new candle.

Care

Trim the wick to about a quarter inch before each burn and keep the first burn to two or three hours. Stop burning when about half an inch of wax is left. To clean the vessel out, let the last of the wax set, ease it out with a spoon, then wash with warm soapy water.

Questions

What is the difference between this and the Sedona Sky vessels?

The pottery is the same. The scents are not. This listing carries the Harmonie fragrances; the Sedona Sky listing carries the Sedona Sky fragrances.

Can I really eat out of it afterward?

Yes. The clay is food-safe and dishwasher-safe. Wash the wax residue out first.

Will my vessel look exactly like the photograph?

No. Each one is hand-thrown and hand-glazed, so size, glaze depth and surface texture vary. Expect a close relative of the photograph rather than a copy of it.

How long does the candle burn?

It depends on the scent and how you burn it. Trimming the wick and keeping sessions to three or four hours will get you the most out of it.

Can I buy the vessel without a candle?

Yes — choose the empty vessel option on this page, or buy the 14 oz vessel directly.

Who makes them?

K2C Designs, an artisan partner of ours in Arizona. Every vessel is thrown and glazed by hand.
