CANDLE MOON DOVE

Moon Dove Candle

This flat moon is 1 cm thick, 19 cm wide and 5 cm tall and weighs 0.17 kg. The base measures 9 × 5 cm, so the candle stands on its own and needs no holder. It is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend, the wick is 100% cotton and the burn time ranges from 2 to 13 hours, depending on how long you let it burn at a time and how warm the room is. The fragrance is citronella and orange – fresh and citrusy, without a heavy sweet undertone.

The Moon and Dove Motif

The crescent moon with a dove is a motif with clear symbolism. The moon stands for night and calm, the dove for faithfulness and peace. Together they make a piece that works as a decoration even when unlit – the flat relief keeps its shape and looks good on a shelf or windowsill all year round. We fill the mould by hand, so every piece has small variations in its surface. That is not a flaw; it is the difference between handwork and pressed goods.

What You Get

• Hand-cast piece – every candle has its own subtle character; no two are the same.
• Cotton wick – 100% cotton, clean burning without a wick smell.
• Citrus fragrance – citronella and orange, light and fresh, it won't overpower food or other scents in the room.
• Stable 9 × 5 cm base – the candle stands on its own, nothing else to buy.
• Burn time 2–13 hours – enough for one evening or several shorter burns.

Where It Fits

Living room, bedroom, a laid table. The flat shape means the candle takes up hardly any depth – it fits on a narrow windowsill, between books on a shelf or on a bedside table. The motif is neutral enough to suit a modern white interior as well as a wooden cottage. It makes a good gift for an anniversary, a wedding or for no particular reason. If you are looking for other motifs, take a look at our candle collections or romantic candles.

Care and Safe Burning

Trim the wick to 5–7 mm before each lighting. A short wick burns with a calm flame and the wax is used evenly. Don't let the candle burn for longer than 2–3 hours at a time and never leave it unattended. Place it on a non-flammable surface, away from draughts and out of reach of children and animals. A draught makes the flame flicker, which causes smoking and licks at the relief – that is why shorter burns are better than one long evening.

Who Makes It

The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004, so we have been making candles for more than twenty years. Our workshop is in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region, and every piece is made there by hand – from melting the wax to taking it out of the mould and finishing it. This is not mass production but piece-by-piece work, where every candle is checked before it goes into the box.

Purchase and Delivery

You can pick up the candle in person in Královské Poříčí, or we will ship it to you within the Czech Republic. We pack it so that the relief survives the journey. Also take a look at our soaps, Svitsolky in a tin or our candle collections.
