Large Pinecone Candle - Gold-Red Glitter

Dimensions: height 12 cm. Weight: 0.15 kg. Composition: premium paraffin wax blend, cotton wick. Burn time: 18–35 hours. Scent: wild strawberry.

The decorative large pine cone candle is a handmade relief candle with a bold, raised pattern inspired by nature. At 12 cm tall, it works as a standalone decoration on a table, a chest of drawers or in the hallway. It also fits well into seasonal arrangements or a gift set.

We make every candle in our workshop in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. At SVITSOL, we have been making candles by hand since 2004.

A striking decoration with a natural motif

The raised surface faithfully recalls the individual scales of a pine cone. The relief is clearly visible even when the candle is not lit, so it can serve as a year-round decoration. Once lit, light and shadow alternate across the textured surface and bring out its depth.

The large pine cone is not a small shelf candle. On a table or chest of drawers it stands out as a striking solitaire and helps create a cozy, tidy spot without complicated arranging. On a suitable stand, the candle naturally becomes the centerpiece of the decoration. If you would otherwise reach for a large square pillar candle for the table, this model offers a similarly bold volume, but a softer, natural shape.

Why choose the large pine cone

• Relief pine cone shape – a natural motif for traditional and modern interiors.
• Detailed raised surface – the candle is decorative even when unlit.
• Wild strawberry scent – a fruity note that unfolds gradually in the room.
• Handmade in the Czech Republic – every piece is made in the SVITSOL workshop in Královské Poříčí.
• Burn time 18–35 hours – depending on use and wick care.
• A gift with a craft origin – for family, friends, colleagues and hosts.

Material and handcraft

We cast the large pine cone from a premium paraffin wax blend. We know this material from many years of practice and understand how it behaves when poured into relief molds – it holds crisp detail and keeps its shape after cooling.

It is precisely with a sculpted shape that careful craftsmanship shows. For the individual scales to come out clean and distinct, the wax temperature, the cooling process and the way the candle is released from the mold all have to be right. The cotton wick is chosen so that the candle burns evenly down into its shape.

Every piece passes through our hands. Slight differences in shade or surface are not a defect but a natural sign of handmade production.

Wild strawberry scent

The candle is scented with wild strawberry – a sweet, fruity note without a heavy base. It suits the living room, bedroom and kitchen, and gets along with everyday home smells such as food or coffee. The intensity grows as the melted wax pool around the wick widens, so the scent is strongest after a longer burn.

Where to place the candle

• On a festive table – as a year-round, autumn or Christmas decoration.
• In the living room – on a chest of drawers, coffee table, bookcase or shelf.
• In the entrance hall – as a natural detail that catches the eye as soon as you walk in.
• In the bathroom – for calm light during an evening unwind.
• In a study or reading corner – for soft, subdued lighting.

Arranging tip: place the candle on a wooden or stone tray and add twigs, dried fruit, moss or cinnamon. A candle on a stand like this makes a complete decoration without lots of extra ornaments.

A handmade gift

The large pine cone suits anyone who likes natural motifs and honest Czech craftsmanship. You can give it to parents, grandparents, a colleague or friends. It works as a Christmas present, a birthday gesture, a gift when visiting or as part of a larger gift package.

Thanks to its pronounced relief, it does not look like an ordinary everyday candle. The recipient can first keep it as a decoration and light it only on a suitable occasion.

Care and safe use

Trim the wick to 5–6 mm before each lighting. This helps keep the flame steady, limits smoking and lets you use the full 18–35 hours of burn time.

Always place the candle on a stable, non-flammable surface, at a safe distance from curtains, paper and other flammable objects. Protect it from drafts and never leave it burning unattended. Put the candle out while airing the room, as moving air can cause uneven burning.
