Candle Small Pinecone – green 2

Small Green Pinecone Decorative Candle – SVITSOL Relief Candle

The pinecone-shaped relief candle is 9 cm tall, weighs 0.06 kg and its diameter ranges from 2.5 cm at the base to 5 cm in the middle. We cast it from a premium paraffin wax blend, the wick is cotton and the burn time is 18–24 hours. It is scented with Cucumber Freshness – a fresh, not sweet fragrance that suits smaller rooms too. We have been making candles by hand for over 20 years; we cast each piece in the mould, set the wick by hand and check it before dispatch. The small pinecone is the daintier version in our range of relief candles – it fits where a larger piece would no longer sit, yet you still want a striking decorative detail.

Please treat the dimensions as approximate – because each candle is handmade, pieces can differ slightly, which is normal for handcrafted candles.

Relief Pattern and Appearance

The pinecone scales are deeply defined, so the decorative candle works as a full ornament even when unlit. On a table, chest of drawers or shelf it adds a natural accent that goes with wood, linen and modern minimalist interiors alike. Once lit, the relief casts soft shadows and the shape slowly changes with the heat – the candle keeps its character until a larger part of the wax has burned. If you are looking for patterned decorative candles, you will appreciate that the pinecone can be combined with other shapes from our range – from angular pieces to mini cone candles.

Cucumber Freshness Fragrance

The fragrance is clean and cool, closer to a garden than a perfumery. It won't overpower food or other scents in your home, so you can light the candle in the kitchen or study as well. With 18–24 hours of burn time, the pinecone lasts for several evenings if you burn it for shorter periods.

Where the Pinecone Fits

• Seasonal decoration – Christmas, Advent, autumn arrangements with dried fruit and twigs
• Coffee table or chest of drawers – a small detail that finishes off the living room
• Festive table – as part of a centrepiece, on its own or in a group
• Country cottage and rustic interiors – the natural motif goes with wood and stone
• Gift wrapping – on its own or in a set with other relief candles

Arrangement tip: place several pinecones of different sizes on a wooden tray with moss, pieces of bark and pine twigs. It works as a year-round decoration that you can top up with a few extra candles in December.

Care and Burning

Trim the cotton wick to 5–6 mm before each lighting. Place the candle on a stable, non-flammable surface and never leave a burning candle unattended. It is best lit in a room without draughts – the flame then burns calmly and the wax melts evenly. A candle snuffer is cleaner than blowing it out: the flame goes out without smoke and the wax doesn't splash. If you want to keep the relief for as long as possible, light the pinecone only occasionally for shorter periods rather than for several hours at a stretch.

Production and Personal Pickup

We make our candles by hand on a farmstead in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. You can order them in our online shop or visit our gallery and workshop in person, where you can see the products and choose the exact piece you want. This is especially worthwhile for gifts – hand-cast candles differ slightly from piece to piece, and choosing in person makes sense.
