Large Sphere Candle Speckled

Decorative sphere candle, large – handmade SVITSOL sphere candle

This sphere candle, 12 cm in diameter, weighs 0.74 kg and is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend with a cotton wick. The total burn time is 72–96 hours and the scent is Euphoria. We make it by hand in our workshop on the farm in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004, so we have 22 years of working with wax behind us.

What is it made of?

The base is a paraffin wax blend (palm oil free) with a cotton wick. We use this combination for most of our candles because it holds its shape even in large pieces – and with a 12 cm sphere that is essential. Softer wax would bend while burning; the paraffin blend keeps its shape.

The candle gets its colour and surface by hand, so each piece differs slightly. That is not a defect but the result of there being a person behind every sphere, not a production line.

How long does it burn?

The total burn time is 72–96 hours. That is not the length of a single burn – we recommend burning the sphere for 1–2 hours at a time and then letting it cool. The wax is then used up evenly and the sphere keeps its shape much longer. Used this way, one candle lasts for dozens of evenings.

Why a sphere

• Light in all directions – the flame is reflected across the whole round surface, giving soft diffused light without harsh shadows
• Works even unlit – the clean geometric shape holds its own as a standalone piece on a chest of drawers or bookshelf
• Easy to combine – with pillars, prisms and cones it forms a natural composition
• Handmade in the Czech Republic – Královské Poříčí, not imported

How to use it in your interior

The simplest and most reliable approach is to play with heights. Place the sphere on a metal or wooden tray and add two candles of a different shape – cone candles as interior decoration add a vertical line, and large prism candles a stable mass at the base. The sphere sits in the middle as the centre of gravity of the whole arrangement.

Where it fits best:

• Living room – coffee table, chest of drawers, bookshelf
• Dining table – festive tables, weddings, family celebrations
• Bathroom – home wellness; a sphere on the edge of the bath looks calm
• Reception, apartments, guesthouses – a representative decoration that needs no maintenance

In interior inspiration this shape is often called candle balls. The principle is the same everywhere: one clean shape does what would otherwise take three accessories.

Care and safety

Trim the wick to 5–7 mm before each lighting. Place the candle on a stable, non-flammable surface and burn it away from draughts – moving air tilts the flame and the sphere then burns asymmetrically. The recommended length of one burn is 1–2 hours. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
