Blue Tessera Handpainted Candle

Inspired by the intricate tile design of Ancient Mesopotamia, the new Blue Tessera series combines classic mosaic patterns with contemporary color and form.

Each hand-painted ceramic vessel is filled with a candle hand-poured by an Iraqi woman artisan. 

Hand-poured candle lightly scented with lavender with natural cotton wick. 4 x 4.25 inches, provides 75 hours of burn time. Your candle arrives in a beautiful gift box and includes a story card of the woman who made it. The ceramic vessel is for decorative purposes only, not suitable for food, oven, microwave or dishwasher.
