Hand Painted Candles in Owoduni Design (pair of tapers)

Tall, slender, and alive with color. These hand-painted taper candles are crafted by skilled artisans in South Africa — each one individually painted with bold, culturally-rooted designs that bring warmth and story to any space.

The Owoduni design takes its name from a Swahili word meaning "responsible" — a value woven into every brushstroke and reflected in the vibrant, intentional colors that define this piece. Fair Trade made, beautifully purposeful.

What's Included:

• Pair of 2 hand-painted taper candles
• Each candle: ¾" diameter × 9" tall + ½" wick
• Burn time: up to 10 hours per candle

Craftsmanship Details:

• Hand-poured with high-quality, fully-refined paraffin wax from Germany
• Non-toxic color pigments & natural wicks
• Unscented — fragrance-free and allergy-friendly
• High melting point: 58°–60°C
• Each candle is individually painted — colors and icons will be consistent, but designs carry beautiful natural variation

The Story Behind the Art:

After the candles are poured, background painters coat each one in a rich base color that sets the tone. Then masterful artists take over — their lightning-fast brushstrokes transforming molten wax into vivid, collectible works of art. It's a process as beautiful as the finished piece.

A striking gift for hostesses, housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries — or a gorgeous addition to your own table. These tapers don't just light a room; they tell a story.

⚠️ Candle Safety: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish before leaving the room. Always use a candle holder. Do not move while lit.
