Candle Moon Butterfly – SVITSOL | Handmade romance & Czech craft

The CIRCLE candle with a butterfly and stand is 14 cm in diameter, a flat circle 1 cm thick, and weighs 0.18 kg. It is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend, the wick is cotton and the burn time is 6–13 hours. Fragrance: vanilla-orange. A 9 × 5 cm stand is included.

The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004, and we have been making candles by hand for over 20 years. Our workshop is in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region – every piece passes through a craftsperson's hands here, from preparing the wax to setting it into the stand.

The circular shape gives the candle a clean geometry that fits modern and country interiors alike. The butterfly is a delicate relief detail – a symbol of transformation and lightness, which makes the candle a good gift, not just a decoration. The stand protects the furniture surface, keeps the candle steady and visually sets it where it belongs.

What Makes This Candle Different

• Flat circle 1 cm, 14 cm in diameter – it burns from the centre, creating an open pattern of light and a play of shadows on the wall and table
• Butterfly relief – a small handcrafted detail that turns the candle from a decoration into a gift
• 9 × 5 cm stand included – stability and protection for your furniture, nothing extra to buy
• Vanilla-orange fragrance – a warm, slightly sweeter note that suits autumn and the Christmas table
• Handmade in the Czech Republic – Královské Poříčí, Karlovy Vary Region, SVITSOL's own workshop
• Cotton wick – an even little flame, minimal soot
• Burn time 6–13 hours – depending on how long you let the candle burn at a stretch

Where to Put It

• Living room – chest of drawers, coffee table, shelf under the TV; on its own or as a pair
• Bedroom – soft evening light instead of a lamp
• Bathroom – by the bath, on a shelf by the mirror, home wellness
• Festive table – wedding, anniversary, birthday, Christmas table
• Gift – for mum, a colleague, a neighbour; the butterfly motif works for all ages

Interior tip: A single 14 cm circle works as a centrepiece on its own. Two or three pieces grouped together create a composition – combine them with our pillar, prism or pyramid candles for a layered scene on three levels.

Play of Light While Burning

This is something you can't see in a photo. Once the flame has burned its way to the centre of the circle, the wax starts to melt inwards and two open half-circles appear. The light shines through and casts a soft pattern on the wall behind, which changes as the candle burns down. In the evening at the table, in the bathroom or on a chest of drawers – an effect you won't find in an ordinary supermarket.

Care and Safety

Before each lighting, trim the wick to 5–6 mm – the flame then burns calmly and the candle doesn't smoke. Always place it on a non-flammable, stable surface, ideally on the included stand. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

For the best light effect, light it in a room without draughts – the flame then burns straight and the circle burns down symmetrically. If wax starts to run over the edge, the wick is probably too long; put the candle out, let it cool and trim the wick.
