Large Sphere Candle Blue-Speckled-Pink

Decorative sphere candle, large – diameter 12 cm, weight 0.74 kg, premium paraffin wax blend, burn time 72–96 hours, wild strawberry scent. We make it by hand in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004, so we have been devoted to candles for over 20 years.

The sphere is a shape that needs nothing else in an interior. Place it on a chest of drawers or a coffee table and it works on its own – even unlit. Its 12 cm diameter makes it a standalone piece, not a small item for a group. You can feel its 0.74 kg in your hand; it is a solid piece of wax, not a hollow decoration.

What is it made of?

It is made of a premium paraffin wax blend. The casting is solid, hence the weight of 0.74 kg – the wax goes all the way through, it is not a shell with a hollow inside. The wick is cotton; it burns calmly, without crackling.

The paraffin blend has a practical advantage for a spherical shape: it holds its form. Softer waxes would gradually sag under their own weight in a 12 cm sphere, while paraffin stays firm even after several seasons on a shelf.

How long does it burn?

72–96 hours. The range is not an excuse – it depends on how you burn the candle. In a draught and with long burns the wax goes down faster; with calm burning in short sessions you will reach the upper limit.

The burn time of 72–96 hours applies with the recommended use – in short sessions, not when burning all day.

How big is it really?

Diameter 12 cm, weight 0.74 kg. Size is hard to judge from a photo, so here is a guide: the sphere takes up about as much space as a smaller flowerpot and forms the centre of a coffee table around which the rest of the decoration can be built. The low shape does not block the view across the table – at a festive dinner, everyone can still see each other.

What you get

• Diameter 12 cm – a dominant piece that can hold its own on a large table or an empty shelf
• Weight 0.74 kg – a solid casting of paraffin wax blend
• Burn time 72–96 hours – with sensible use it lasts a whole season of evenings
• Wild strawberry scent – sweet but not heavy; it does not overpower food or the air in the room
• Cotton wick – burns calmly, without crackling
• Handmade by SVITSOL – Královské Poříčí, Karlovy Vary Region

How does a sphere candle burn?

The spherical shape spreads light evenly in all directions – unlike a pillar, which shines mainly upwards. The flame gradually sinks into the wax and the sphere begins to glow from within.

Practical note from the workshop: burn the sphere for shorter periods at a time; we recommend max. 1–2 hours. This is not caution for its own sake – with a spherical shape it keeps the rim even and the candle holds its shape longer. Longer burning opens it out to the sides.

Where does it fit?

• Living room – coffee table, chest of drawers, bookshelf. As the only piece on the surface.
• Dining table – celebrations, weddings, festive tables. The low shape does not block the view across the table.
• Bathroom – home spa; the strawberry scent works well in the steam.
• Reception, apartments, wellness – a representative decoration that does not need replacing every week.

Styling: place the sphere on a wooden or metal tray and add one prism or pillar. A mix of shapes with the same surface looks clean. Three spheres of different sizes side by side also work, but on a wider surface.

What does wild strawberry smell like?

Wild strawberry is one of those scents you can burn all year round – in winter it reminds you of summer, in summer it suits an open room. It is not a sugary candy strawberry; it stays closer to the fruit. For the bedroom, living room and bathroom.

Is it a good gift?

The large sphere is a gift that needs no explanation. Nobody has to worry about size or colour as with clothes, and nobody has three identical ones at home. It suits Christmas, a housewarming, a birthday or as a thank-you – the recipient puts it on the table and uses it, or leaves it standing as a decoration. Both make sense.

How to care for the candle?

Trim the wick to 5–7 mm before each lighting – a long wick smokes and the flame gets unnecessarily large. Place the candle on a stable, non-flammable surface, ideally a tray or small plate, because with a spherical shape the wax can spill over the edge.

Burn it away from draughts. A draught pulls the flame to one side, the candle then burns crookedly and the wax runs off. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets.

Where do we make our candles?

By hand in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. Every piece passes through our hands, so small differences in surface or shade are not defects – they show that it is not made by a machine.

You can order in our online shop or drop by in person. In the gallery and workshop you can see the candles in real life, smell them and choose the size according to where you want to put it – size is hard to judge from a photo.
