A large 12 cm sphere candle for the table and chest of drawers

This sphere candle, 12 cm in diameter and weighing 0.74 kg, is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend, has a cotton wick and burns for 72 to 96 hours. It is one of our larger pieces – on its own it forms a centrepiece that needs no further decoration on the table. The spherical shape spreads light evenly in all directions, so the flame does not just shine upwards as with a pillar but lights up the whole space around it. The large sphere candle therefore looks calm and settled, without harsh shadows on the walls.

The combination of yellow and blue gives every piece its own pattern. No two candles are identical, because we pour the wax by hand in layers. That is the difference from machine-cast candles, where you find a hundred identical pieces in a row.

What is it made of?

It is made of a premium paraffin wax blend with a cotton wick. Paraffin holds its shape even in such a large piece – the sphere does not sag in the warmth and the edge stays clean. The cotton wick burns with a calm flame, without crackling. The colour is in the wax itself, not sprayed onto the surface, so the yellow-blue pattern stays all the way down as the candle burns.

How long does it burn?

72 to 96 hours, depending on how you use it. The difference between the lower and upper limit is made by the length of each burn: in short 1–2 hour sessions the candle burns more evenly and lasts to the upper limit. With long continuous burning the wax is used up faster. Compared with ordinary tea lights or small scented candles, it lasts a whole season of evenings on the terrace.

How big is it really?

A 12 cm diameter means a sphere you can wrap your hand around but cannot hide in it. On the dining table it is a visible centre, not a small item next to the plate. The weight of 0.74 kg gives the candle stability – it stands firmly on a flat surface even without a candle holder and does not tip over when someone bumps the table.

What to expect from a large scented candle

• Handmade in the Czech Republic – we cast every piece by hand in our workshop in Královské Poříčí. SVITSOL has been making candles by hand for over 20 years; the brand was founded in 2004.
• Long burn time – 72 to 96 hours, depending on use.
• Stable shape – the large sphere candle is heavy enough not to tip over.
• Citronella scent – a fresh citrus note that suits the terrace and open windows in summer.
• Easy to combine – the sphere pairs nicely with pillars and prisms in one composition. A mix of three different shapes on a tray looks better than three identical candles side by side.

Where to place the large sphere candle

Large scented candles of this size suit the dining table as the centre of a composition – in that case we recommend a low tray or metal plate so that no wax drips onto the tablecloth. On the coffee table in the living room the candle is enough on its own, perhaps with a dried plant element. On a chest of drawers or in a window recess it works as a calm element that needs no further decoration.

For receptions, hotel apartments and wellness areas, the large sphere candle works as a representative centrepiece with visible handwork. Styling tip: sphere + prism + low pillar on one tray – three different heights, one colour tone. A large prism candle makes a natural counterweight to the sphere, because the sharp edge stands out next to the round surface. If you build the composition upwards, add cone candles – a slim cone next to the sphere draws the eye up while the rest of the arrangement stays low.

A gift for a particular occasion

Luxury sphere candles are chosen by people who want to give something lasting – a large sphere candle stands decoratively on a chest of drawers for weeks before the recipient even lights it for the first time. It suits a birthday gift for parents and grandparents, as part of a housewarming gift, for a wedding or instead of a classic bouquet. For companies, we send it as an end-of-year gift for clients. If you are looking for scented candles in glass, you will find other ranges in our shop; this one has no container, it is all wax, so you can put it anywhere on a tray.

SVITSOL – made in Královské Poříčí

The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004. Our workshop in Královské Poříčí is also our store and shop – we cast by hand from paraffin, beeswax and soy wax, depending on the range. We pour the large sphere candle into the mould by hand in layers, so every piece has its own colour structure. This is not industrial production and we do not pretend it is.

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 and burn it for no more than 1–2 hours at a time – the sphere will then form an even wax pool across its whole diameter and will not hollow out a narrow "chimney". Never leave a burning candle unattended or within reach of children and pets. Out of season, store the candle in the shade – direct sunlight fades the colour in the wax.
