Large Sphere Candle Purple-White

Large sphere candle with lavender scent

A sphere candle 12 cm in diameter weighing 0.74 kg, made by hand from a premium paraffin wax blend with a cotton wick. The burn time is 72–96 hours and the scent is lavender. The spherical shape spreads light in all directions, so the candle lights the whole room evenly – not just upwards like a pillar candle.

We cast it in our workshop in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004; over 22 years we have fine-tuned the wall thickness and wick strength of our sphere candles so that they burn down evenly and do not sink to one side.

What is it made of?

The base is a premium paraffin wax blend. The wick is cotton – we do not use any other wicks in this range. The lavender scent is worked into the whole volume of the candle, not just the surface, so it still smells even after dozens of hours of burning. The weight of 0.74 kg is no accident: a solid casting without a hollow core lasts considerably longer than a candle of the same size with a thin wall.

How long does it burn?

72 to 96 hours, depending on how you use it. The range is wide because a large candle is affected by draughts, wick length and the length of each burn. With short evening burns you will reach the upper limit, with long continuous burning the lower one.

Pay attention to the first burns: a large sphere candle needs the wax to melt across its width. Once the wax pool reaches almost to the edge, you can put it out – the candle "remembers" the diameter and will not tunnel.

How to care for the candle?

Trim the wick to 5–7 mm before each lighting. Place the candle on a stable, non-flammable surface – with a sphere this matters twice as much; a flat tray or metal plate works well. We recommend burning it for 1–2 hours at a time. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Where the large candle fits

On the coffee table in the living room, in the middle of the dining table, on a chest of drawers in the hallway or on the edge of the bath. Thanks to its round shape it looks good from all sides, so you never have to turn it.

In styling, a contrast of shapes works best. Place the sphere on a tray and add two or three candles of a different shape – a white prism candle next to the sphere creates a difference in height, white cone candles add a pointed line and a white pillar candle balances the whole group. You will find the full range of shapes among our candles and candle collections.

Who it is for

For anyone looking for a gift that is not a throwaway trinket. A large candle of this kind lasts for months of normal use, so it suits birthdays, weddings, anniversaries or as an addition to home wellness. It also works as a gift for someone who is hard to buy for – a sphere candle fits into any interior, whatever the style.

Complete the atmosphere with scented soaps or VALLERI LUXURY candles.

Where we make the candle

In our workshop in Královské Poříčí. We cast, cool and finish each sphere by hand, so every piece differs slightly in shade and surface texture. That is not a defect – it is the hallmark of handmade work. You can order in our online shop, or drop by and see the candles in real life.
